Salbutamol Sulphate causing a cough?

I am prescribed Salamol as a reliever, but I’ve never found it very helpful, and it makes me cough. In fact I hardly ever use it because of that, sticking to my (s)mart regime of using my Duoresp Spiromax inhaler if I need an additional relief puff during the day outside of my standard morning and eveningI am prescribed Salamol as a reliever, but I’ve never found it very helpful, and it makes me cough.

Lactose in asthma inhalers

Having spent years on Seratide 250 I was told by the asthma nurse that Lambeth policy was to stop prescribing it and my medication was changed to DuoResp Spiromax 160.

Change of inhaler

Can anyone tell me if there is any advantage to changing from 2 puffs Seretide 250 twice a day to DuoResp Spiromax one puff twice a day? I have successfully managed my asthma [I'm 66] but the asthma nurse tells me Seretide is being phased out.

Duoresp spiromax inhaler

I've had well controlled asthma for many years. Was previously taking symbicort inhaler with no problems. I was then changed to duoresp spiromax and didn't think anything of the change until today when the penny dropped. I've spent all night in an austrian hospital whilst on my family holiday.

PIP awarded until Feb 2019 Taken off me

Hi After being awarded standard rate for daily living mid 2016 until Feb 2019 I was pleased. My husband is my constant carer as I struggle with all daily tasks.

Side Effects Of Duoresp Spiromax Asthma Inhaler

I am still suffering the side effects of duoresp spiromax. I used it for one year not realising that my asthma was getting worse because of the inhaler.

Asthma getting worse and meds are not helping at all

Hi everyone! I’m relatively new here and need some advise. Basically my asthma is getting worse and worse since last August. My GP/ asthma nurse have been increasing my meds since last October.

Side effects of Duoresp Spiromax Inhaler

I have had asthma since 1989. But it was under control till one year back.

Hi All, Firstly a very happy 2018 to everyone, I've been reading a few of the comments on here for a week or two now as I was recently diagnosed as having asthma.

Different meds combinations and side-effects

DuoResp Spiromax
