Experiences with

Aerivio Spiromax

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

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. Daily living is a struggle to say the least. Out of the blue earlier this year the DWP sent a form to fill in about changes to my disabilities

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. I was on Symbicort and one fine day my GP said I was prescibed Duoresp spiromax as a cost cutting measure. My asthma got worse I started wheezing soon

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. They have changed me from just needing a blue inhaler ever so often to duoresp spiromax 3 puffs/ twice a day

I have had asthma since 1989. But it was under control till one year back. I was switched to Duoresp Spiromax inhaler because my GP explained it was a cheaper option my surgery was prescribing as a cost cutting procedure by the NHS. Everything went down hill from last year. But it never crossed my mind

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. I'm kind of managing but have had a couple of "episodes" mainly during the night where I have woken up short of breath, tight chest, sweaty
