Experiences with

Oxis Turbohaler

I feel the same on Oxis but I think I do need a LABA / LAMA. I don’t feel like this on Becotide so it must be the LABA? I’m starting to link my symptoms to Symbicort. Anyone else have a similar experience with Symbicort? I suppose the easiest at this point is to add a LAMA to my ICS... Thanks, Con.

I've been trying out Oxis (A LAMA) and saw some benefit at the start, now its hard to tell. Here's my question I do notice a bubbling sensation in my left lung, like air moving. Very disconcerting and all types of things come to mind. No phlegm or infection to report. Anyone else ever have this?

I'm trying to find a reliever that is less of a problem for reflux and wondered how if anyone has has found formoterol to be better? I have tried the combination Seretide, Ventolin and Serevent and they all give me really bad reflux. I'm on a PPI etc but it only makes it just about bearable.

have been taking bricanyl, pulmicort, then oxis. Now I'm 56 my asthma has gone down hill, done spiro test,then repeated it again , but still not improved, been took of pulmicort & oxis and put on symbicort.

. :-0 Anyway the goodnews is I'm having a go without steroids and have been prescribed a different antihistamine and oxis turbohaler formoterol fumarate dihydrate.

Since the change I am on 1600mg pulmicort (inhaled steroid) and i take oxis 6 twice a day as my LABA. (and montelukast too) I also have oxis as and when I need it so I'm no longer on salbutamol.

Does anyone else find that they get discomfort in their bladder from using either of these inhalers? Both contain Formeterol. I get a burning sensation when I need to go to the toilet, which goes away if I don't use the inhaler. It works well to open up my lungs , but this discomfort is getting me down

Also, I usually do my terbutaline and ipatropium nebs, then take my oxis and then my budesonide. I need to do my Oxis 12hrs apart because my cardiologist is already very annoyed that I take such a high dose of formeterol - i think he'd have an actual storke if i wasnt soacing it properly.

used Seritide, Symbicort, Oxis and Qvar for a month at a time with no added help. I have now been prescribed ....Fostair as a last resort before I am sent to a consultant. Does anyone have any experience of Fostair?

My respiratory consultant agreed with the removal of oxis, because I had also done an exercise test which showed my breathing was normal but my heart rate was incredibly high.

She has now given me Qvar and Oxis ( in addition to original inhalers ). But once again I cannot feel any additional benefit. I need to see her again....but where will we go from here?

Also have oxis as extra preventor and reliever. still going to carry salb just in case i am really bad, i know i would be nervous without it until I gain some confidence in oxis.

Thanks x Short-acting beta2 agonists · Ventolin/Salbutamol · Bricanyl/terbutaline Long-acting beta2 agonists · Serevent/Salmeterol · Oxis/Formoterol Fumarate Corticosteroids · Clenil & Qvar/Beclometasone Dipropionate · Pulmicort/Budesonide · Flixotide/Fluticasone · Prednisolone (oral)/Hydrocortisone

I was on symbicort 200, put up to symbicort 400, then put onto a combination of pulmicort and oxis for a few months. I was also on two courses of steroid tablets, for a week each time, and none of these helped my breathlessness, cough, or chest pain.

I stopped and moved to flixotide and oxis, the cramps stopped but the oxis gave me gastrointestinal problems so had to take domperidone to counteract them. If its not one thing its another!!

I am not sure that i am any better than i was when on the flixitide/oxis. Is it a case of what suits one dont suit the other. I thought flixotide was supposed to be the best. Does any body seem to do better on one that the other. I am struggling and not sure what to do.

At moment i am on 2 puffs twice daily, but since been on high dose of flixitide and oxis for lots of years, i am not sure whether i am getting the same amount of steroid into me now that i am on this symbicort and also is pulmicort as strong as flixotide I thought flixotide was supposed to be the best

Hi all, Has anyone had any raised blood pressure problems from asthma meds, I have read that LABAs (salmeterol, seretide, advair, symbicort, oxis, formeterol) can raise blood pressure. It would be good to know if anyone has a problem with this. Cheers RI
