Fostair and spacers
Hi again, I have just had my meds changed from Symbicort (eating more of it than breathing it in) to
Fostair
. I asked for something that could be used with a spacer and now find that it clearly states on the side of the box not to use
Fostair
with a spacer.

Fostair - Experiences?
Hey all, Just back in from seeing my asthma nurse and she's put me on the
Fostair
inhaler in the hope of better controlling it. I hadn't heard of it before - I'd be grateful if anyone on it/has been on it could let me know what its like, I just want something that works! Natalie

Fostair-keeping it in a fridge?
If you're on
Fostair
do you get similar warnings from your chemist and how do you keep it cold? Thank you.

Was it an asthma attack?
For note - I used ventolin before my run (4 puffs) and I swapped from Seretide (250, 2 puffs twice a day) to
Fostair
(100/6, 2 puffs twice a day) about 2 weeks ago A long post I'm sorry and appologies if this has appeared on the forum before but I couldn't find answers in

New inhaler
Hi, my asthma has recently got really bad, affecting my day to day activities and making me generally feel rubbish so the doctors have swapped me from symbicort 400/12 to
fostair
. Has anyone else been swapped like this and have they found that it helps? Thanks :)

Fostair
Hi, I've just been given
Fostair
, I've been on pred 2 weeks, start week 3 tomorrow now down to 20mg. My doc says I'm to take 4 puffs am and pm for a few days then down to 2 puffs am and pm. I'm a little worried as it says max dose 4 puffs daily.

AUK - Light at the end of the tunnel!! Thank you
So along with the fact the
Fostair
has made my symptoms so much worse, I'm back off to the nurse next week. The AUK nurse suggested (A) separating the steroid and LABA, then reducing the LABA portion to reduce the cramps, but increasing the steroid to regain control even when exercising.

Potassium supplements
I've mentioned it to the doc and he's swapped me from Seretide to
Fostair
- this has had no effect.

Seretide to Fostair - Any advice?
Been moved from Seretide to
Fostair
since having trouble with leg cramps/muscle aches related to Seretide doseage. Does anyone have any first hand experience of
Fostair
? The info leaflet looks a little scary and has worried me!!

Hello! Newbie so glad to have found this place!
Went back to a different GP who put me on
fostair
to try - amazing - worked instantly felt so much better. Had a review after 2 months where GP told me to come off inhalers as I had rarely needed the blue one and symptoms had decreased and I didn't have asthma.

Improvement with Fostair
I have been prescribed a succession of inhalers since 1992 when, at the age of 52, my shortness of breath during exercise was diagnosed as due to asthma. I've had blue, brown, purple inhalers but until the latest one, a shocking pink colour, I was resigned to further curtailment of my mountain biking

What next?
Well I assumed that this was quite a high dosage and that it should get my asthma under control (prior to the Seretide, I was on 8 puffs a day of
Fostair
and using my Ventolin sometimes 3 or 4 times a day).

Fostair

Asking to change inhalers
I am going to ask to try Symbicort probably but also might ask about
Fostair
. I feel a bit nervous about asking because he's never suggested it although I've been seeing him regularly for a few months because things are not very well controlled at the moment, and neither have any of my GP's.

Hello Cold, Welcome back Asthma
So my asthma has been pretty stable lately thanks to the combination of
fostair
and the end of the pollen season.I havent been flat peak flow, like the doc wanted so i could come down a step yet, but i was starting to think it might happen. Barely been on here either.
