Fostair + spacers?
Hi Guys, Been up to the doctors today after struggling for the past few days and he's changed me from Clenil to
Fostair
( combined steriod and long acting reliever.) Firstly yeah no pred! :) Secondly was checking through the leaflet and it said
fostair
must NOT be used with a spacing device.

Symbicort
My cons mentioned a while ago about changing my meds from
fostair
to symbicort. At the time my asthma wasn't too bad so was reluctant to swap and 'upset the apple cart' as it were! However, after nearly 3 months of terribly uncontrolled asthma I am now thinking symbicort may be a good idea.

Chest & Phlem Problem
Hi, My asthma has been quite bad recently and my g.p. prescribed antibiotics, and prednisilone, along with a new inhaler (
Fostair
). I've finished both sets of tablets but I'm left with a nasty cough which sometimes produces phlem which is thick and sticky.

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.

LABA causing worse symptoms?
Symptoms improved but got leg cramps so swapped seretide for
fostair
, cramps improved but chest worse so given Symbicort instead, symptoms still worse so given flixotide and oxis, symptoms much better but still 2-3 times a week.

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.

Fostair - anyone using this?
I did try seretide but that was no good so that leaves
fostair
. Anyone out there got experience of using this? Or any other suggestions I could try on my GP? Thanks

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

Problem with fostair
A week ago my doc suggested increasing the
fostair
dose to 6 doses per day instead of the normal 4 this has helped a bit but I'm concerned that I'm exceeding that stated maximum dose . I'm currently on spriva, singular,
fostair
and cetirizine.

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
