Heads up for anyone using Alvesco / Ciclesonide as their ICS

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 thisJust to let everyone know, Astra Zeneca are having a manufacturing problem with this medicine at the moment.

Alvesco with a spacer?

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.Is anyone using Alvesco and do you use it with a spacer?

Inhaler trials Alvesco and reflux with Seretide Serevent

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 also struggled to get my last Alvesco inhaler due to supply issues which seem ominus to me.

Eosinophyllic asthma

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.I have eosinophyllic asthma, I take Flutiform and Ciclesonide (ALvesco) twice a day.

Digestive reflux issues caused by steroids

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.I now do not take Seretide as it makes my reflux worse I take Ciclisonide Alvesco with a releiver if I need it.

Alvesco inhaler

Hi All, I got a new inhaler on Tue Alvesco 160 to use 2 puffs once a day, I was feeling reasonably well when I started on it, but I'd just finished a long course of prednisone.Hi All, I got a new inhaler on Tue Alvesco 160 to use 2 puffs once a day, I was feeling reasonably well when I started on it, but I'd just finished a long course of prednisone.

Does it ever get better?

Flovent, symbicort and alvesco and ventolin seems to not help that much.my questions are - has anyone struggled a long time to then finally get relief with the right medicine? I am losing hope. Also because I constantly struggle to get the breath I find it impossible not to get anxious.Flovent, symbicort and alvesco and ventolin seems to not help that much.my questions are - has anyone struggled a long time to then finally get relief with the right medicine?
