Experiences with

Aerivio Spiromax

Hello there, I still have not had a diagnosis for my bronchiectasis like symptoms; my chest x-rays showed scarring in march, but are now all clear now. Since my last serious chest infection earlier this year I have been perfectly healthy, active, cough and asthma free, only taking Fostair 100/6 four

Has anyone noticed an improvement on changing to DuoResp Spiromax? I was taking seretide for years and then went on to Fostair which was no good. In previous years I have been short of breath for several weeks from March until end of June. I have had the odd blip which lasted a few days. I take

Hi, After reading a recent post it started me wondering if the reason my asthma flared up again, a couple of months after switching inhalers and has been difficult to control since, is because the switch wasn’t equivalent to what I was taking before. 🤔 For years I had been on a high dose: 2 puffs

Hi, I’ve just taken my first dose of Spiriva and am always a bit edgy when taking new things 😅. I realised after taking it, that the instructions didn’t say anything about shaking it before use, is that because it’s a different kind of inhaler to Fostair which is my other inhaler? Also it didn’t

Hi, Hope everyone is well. I’m having another flare up of my asthma, it has been poorly controlled for about 6 months and I’m on my third lot of prednisolone. I’ve only ever been on one steroid inhaler which is currently Fostair 100/6, having switched to this from Duoresp Spiromax 320/9 a couple of

Are symbicort and duoresp spiromax the same? I am asking because symbicort is not working for me and I was exchanged for a duoresp spiromax. What should I do?

Hi, hope you are all doing ok. I’ve got a question I hope you’ll be able to clear up for me. Just before Christmas my meds were swapped from Duoresp spiromax 320/9 2 puff, twice a day, to Fostair on a SMART regime. As I was reducing steroids over the first week, I was told to take 8puffs for 2 weeks

I’ve used a spacer with salbutamol and given it a shake before use, but I’m not sure if I need to shake Fostair before using it with a spacer. Is it a powder inhaler? I’ve been on Duoresp spiromax, which I took without a spacer and it wasn’t necessary to shake it before use. But now I’ve changed to

Hi, I renewed my prescription yesterday and instead of my regular Fostair NEXThaler, I was given DuoResp Spiromax, due to the former being in short supply. Is this due to the current crisis or is it going to be a permanent thing?

Hello, I am struggling with my DuoResp Spiromax inhaler in that it does not control my asthma and find I keep needing to use my Ventolin inhaler. I am currently on 3 puffs twice a day so is a higish dose. I spoke to an Asthma UK nurse who was most helpful and said that it may be better to try a PDI inhaler

I take DuoResp Spiromax 320/9 two puffs twice a day but have not received a letter yet to self isolate for 12 weeks. Has anybody?

Hi! I’m aware that a lot of questions have probably been asked about this already, so I’m sorry! I’ve looked at the Asthma UK guidance and I think I should be shielding? I take my reliever daily as my asthma isn’t controlled and my Duoresp Spiromax was on the list. I am no longer on montelukaast (sp?

I’m relatively new to the problems with Asthma and would be grateful for some advice. I was diagnosed with Asthma 4 years ago and for the majority of that time I took 1 puff of my inhaler in the morning and never had any symptoms in just under 4 years. At the end of last October I had a viral infection

Hi Guys!! I have just been put onto the DuoResp Spiromax inhaler, and i am just after any feedback. I was previously taking Serevent and Beclomethasone. Does anyone take this and if so, is it a good inhaler to be on/better than the 2 i was on previously? I have had Asthma for 30 years and only ever

Hi, has anyone been prescribed the above?, any thoughts?. I have just been given it as my asthma is not under control. I believe it is the maximum dose. Thanks

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 evening

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. I had trouble adjusting and felt like my asthma was out of control, found this web site and started calming down. But I had kicked off

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. From all I've read it's a cost issue but I am worried I

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. I woke
