Nebulisers
I had used 20 salamol and 8
fostair
doses, my daily limit. In our area we are not allowed our own nebulisers, so as told to I rang 111 and asked for a nebuliser, as I had run out of treatment options. 111 then said could not send paramedic and sent a full scale ambulance.

Wheezing and Tight Chest
I was told back in November 2023 it's asthma that's causing the wheezing and I was given a different inhaler (
fostair
200mg). It's now May and I still have the same symptoms and since January 2024 I've also been taking spiriva and montelukast. Any one out there had a similar experience?

Any advice?
😅 Back in 2017 I had two really bad exacerbations with my asthma, involving lots of pred and antibiotics, which led to me moving from
fostair
to seretide 250, as well as starting on montekulast, tiotropium, fexofenadine, and some mucadene when things were very bad, did have chest x-rays, but was not

Fostair 200
Does anyone else use
Fostair
200 and suffered these side effects - skin atrophy and continuous chest infections? If they have, did they get this inhaler changed to a nonsteroidal inhaler? If this happened which treatment was it changed to. I have COPD and asthma.

Oral thrush
I'm using
Fostair
, I really think it's from that inhaler. I have some white and red spots on my throat, nothing on my tongue yet. I have a few questions because this never happened before. Is oral thrush contagious? I'm afraid because I don't want to give it to my partner.

Hello from a newbie
I'm wondering if I should be taking my
fostair
and montelucast all year round to prevent this......I usually just take it when the hay fever symptoms kick in and it combats that. Any insight would be so appreciated.

Montekulast and Fostair
I have been using
Fostair
200/6 which has helped the breathlessness but bad side effect of leg cramps. Consultant has now put me on Montekulast and reduce
Fostair
to 1 puff twice a day.

Fostair 200/6 to Luforbec
I’ve just been notified that my GP is changing my
Fostair
200/6 to Luforbec - allegedly, the same medication. I appreciate that Luforbec is £8.00 or so cheaper than
Fostair
- and I am prescribed two each month (I have them as MART) - it would obviously save the GP practice a fair amount.

Chest Clinic
My asthma nurse suggested changing my steroid inhaler to
Fostair
, but she was hesitant in case it made my asthma worse. Is there anything that I could ask or bring up that is worth mentioning

Fostair inhaler
Had my asthma review at my GP surgery today and apparently my asthma is poorly controlled which I knew anyway so she wants to consider changing my steroid inhaler to
Fostair
. I'm already on Flutiform 250/10 as well as Spiriva which I know isn't a steroid.

steroid card
I have been switched to
Fostair
200/6 2 puffs twice daily. I’ve also had 3 courses of prednisolone in the past year. My doctor said I needed to get a steroid card from the pharmacist, which I duly did but when I had my asthma review the nurse said it wasn’t necessary.

Bruising from high dose steroid inhaler
I have been taking
fostair
net 200/6 2 puffs twice a day for over 4 years. Lately in the last year I bruise more easily than I did before. I rang asthma UK helpline this afternoon and if my inhaler is the cause. The nurse said it could be the reason.
