Experiences with

Inhalers

Hi all hope you are ok. Apologies if this has been asked before. I have had an appointment with my asthma nurse yesterday and she has prescribed Fostair 100/6 2 puffs twice a day as I am still waking up coughing in the night and have been coughing on and off over the last few weeks on a night (unsure

Can asthma inhalers cause cough or irritate lungs

Hi. I've been changed from flutiform to fostair due to side effects. I've only been on the fostair a few days but it feels like it's not doing a great deal. My chest & upper back hurt. I laugh, I cough. I feel like I've got more shortness of breath than usual. How long should it take to start working

Does anyone have any idea of the current state of affairs regarding recycling the plastic component of inhalers? GSK had a scheme, but just now when I looked for that webpage it was no longer there.

I've been on Trimbo inhaler for 2 years, the first 18 months I found it better than my old one, but these last 2 months I don't feel any benefit from it. Do you think your body needs a change after a while, I'm more breathless than usual & think it's worth trying a different one. Has anyone found

Is any one having problems with Salbutomol cfc free inhalers? Every one I get seems to work fine for a short while and then wont deliver a spray and it seems theres a blockage even whin it is still more than half full.

Here we go again... another reaction to a new inhaler to try! Using Spiriva and have eye irritation and needed to see the eye doctor. He put me on an antihistamine eye drop and comfort drops. Seems like I have had a reaction to Advair and now Spiriva. He told me to use the drops for 1 week and see if

I have osteoporosis T-3.4 Diagnosed over 2 years ago and chose not to take meds. Also have mild bronchiectasis and asthma. I take Clenil inhaler and occasional Salbutomol. Recently discovered these are not good for bone health. Anyone else had the dilemma of whether to continue with them?

Hello , has anyone else found that the inhalers do not really have the amount of puffs claimed on the actual inhaler ? I have never got 100 puffs out of my inhaler therefore being left without usage because the GP will not repeat my subscription until a set date . Thanks , keep safe all.

Hi all I have had COPD for 10yrs always been told when I use my inhaler to inhale deep and hold for a few seconds now respitory nurse says that’s wrong when using a spacer to take 3to5 short breaths in and out keeping spacer in mouth would like to hear how some of you take yours thank you .

My question is how do I store my inhalers? I have 7 fostair inhalers and 2 ventolin. Is it okay to store them in fridge (on the box it says that I shouldnt use inhaler after it passed 3 months from getting it from pharmacy) but I dont see a problem if they are stored in fridge?

Do certain medications have a greater tendancy for gerd/ heart burn. I was previously on fostair but got sore tongue (fungal infection) I moved to relvar and its bad heartburn most of the time? Any thoughts?

Hi everyone , Two years ago I was diagnosed with asthma. I have been taking Flovent HFA since then. No issues accept sometimes I do feel that I could use a little bit of opening up. Recently went to a new pulmonologist and Dr. recommended Breo . I liked Breo but it made me jittery and sometimes leg

Assuming it's not those with severe asthma, so does it include those on daily strong steroid inhalers, those on lesser steroid inhalers or maybe those that only need to use their ventolin every now and then? Would be grateful to have your views on this.

Should I up my inhalers/take my emergency prednisone? Should I call my GP for advice? Thanks in advance x

As inhalers this is the norm but can’t find anything in the instructions.

I'm awaiting tests but may be some time and steroid inhalers just not agreeing with me, tried a few!

i got my free vitamin D pills yesterday, do i really need to take them, i am taking enough pills (70 a week) and inhalers 3 a day ? i really don't want to start taking more.

He’s on his inhalers in the morning and evening. Every week I email the GP but they don’t seem worried. Anybody else had this?
