Experiences with

Alvesco

Is Alvesco better that Budesonide when having Covid-19? Anybody tried Alvesco instead?

Has anyone ever had to use an alternative to Alvesco 160?, Is there a suitable alternative?. I have had to call 6 different pharmacies today to try to obtain my Alvesco 160 . All have advised it is not in stock and it is coming up manufacturer problems. They are unable to obtain it.

Does anyone get severe headaches when taking alvesco? I get lots of headaches 3-4 a week anyway, but the last week they are almost beyond what I can bare. I took ibuprofen and paracetamols which just about took the edge off, but ibuprofen isn’t good for my kidneys (also got chronic kidney failure).

So now I’m back to : Fostair 200/6 : 6 puffs a day Spireva x 2 Alvesco Montelukast Phyllocontin , plus ventilin as and when needed! All to be able to breathe!

I’d do have severe allergic asthma (tree & grass pollen) & my meds are - Dymista, Fexofenadine 180x4(max dose if required), Fostair 200/6, Alvesco 160(add on) Montelukast & ventolin as required.

I have tried every preventer possible such as seretide, flixotide, symbicort, Alvesco etc and two days ago i was given flutiform. All of them cause me EXTREME voice hoarseness, chest pain, shortness of breathe, headaches, mood swings, sleep issues.

I have been following almost daily online clinical tests happening all over the world in regards to Alvesco and covid 19.

I have 1 shot a month (the lowest u can have) Xolair, Seretide 500 1 am 1 pm, Spiriva Respimat x2 am, Alvesco 80 x 2 a day pMDI, Montelukast pm, Uniphyllin am and pm, Bambac pm Antihistamines Bricanyl Totally confused as to what I should be doing. Have'nt been in work over a week.

Regards Bobby xxx On Spiriva and Alvesco and use Ventilon as needed. Also use prednisone and antibiotics as needed when infected. Also active surveillance for prostate cancer since 2012, no treatment just monitoring.

So i had spirometry done which came back abnormal (consultant still hasn't said what the result actually was 🙄) and has now put me on alvesco. So i am now taking Fostair 200/6, alvesco and montelukast. Has anyone used alvesco and how did you get on with it?

Hi there, Just saw my consultant at the RBH last week, he told me that Astra Zeneca is having another manufacturing problem with Alvesco. RBH pharmacy has v. Low stocks. I managed to refill my prescription. But all users should make sure they have a backup inhaler or get one on order. Cheers R x

Just to let everyone know, Astra Zeneca are having a manufacturing problem with this medicine at the moment. I had to scour the country to get two inhalers. I rang Astra Zeneca, and they said there was a problem with their "Manufacturing Process". But that there would be stocks available later this

Respiratory consultant changed inhaler to Alvesco 3 weeks ago in attempt to improve hoarseness. I’ve been really struggling this last week, any suggestions? Has anyone else found the last few days difficult for their asthma?

Is anyone using Alvesco and do you use it with a spacer? I've been on it for about a month now and it's working well but it does not fit n my spacer so I take it without. My only concern is thrush in my throats and mouth.

I have eosinophyllic asthma, I take Flutiform and Ciclesonide (ALvesco) twice a day. Every morning when I wake up, my throat and the roof of my mouth are very clogged up, - wondering if anyone has anything they take at night to help with this. Tried Montelukast but it disturbed my sleep.

But Alvesco does not any ideas or comments please?

I also struggled to get my last Alvesco inhaler due to supply issues which seem ominus to me. Sorry if my posts are turning into blogs but it helps me writing it down and hopefully will help other people.

I'm about a month in from switching from Seretide 250 x 4 a day to Alvesco 160 2 in the morning and Serevent 25 x 4 a day. I'm not sure that this combination is working for my asthma as well as seretide?

I now do not take Seretide as it makes my reflux worse I take Ciclisonide Alvesco with a releiver if I need it. For me I dont think I need a combination inhaler all the time just when Im ill I just need the steroid inhaler to keep inflamation down. The LABA definitely made my reflux worse.
