I ended up at a respiratory specialist who advised me on taking
Symbicort
200, one dose x 2 a day. Everything got better within 3 to 5 days. Miracle. I have then however stopped taking
Symbicort
after 6 weeks. Asthma came back around 12th week and was more difficult to tame it with
Symbicort
.

MEd's changed due to cost
My Dr's surgery have said I'm not allowed
Symbicort
anymore as it's too expensive and they're changing me to Fostair. They sent out a letter to me and others, by the look of it, to let us know. No appt to discuss, just that my prescription from now on will be Fostair! Not very happy.

I have an asthma since I was a child, but it got uncontrolled last february, and now I am taking 4dose of
symbicort

I feel so depressed as I thought xolair would help,
Symbicort
400 /12 was changed to duo resp and I've just read the steroid in seretide is stronger . Is anyone else like me can't get control no matter which inhalers or how many puffs and yes tried smart regime didn't work .

Inhaler or Nebuliser???
I take
symbicort
160/4.5, montelukast (singulair), and Omeprezole everyday. I also take albuterol as my rescue. I'm wondering if a nebuliser would help me out. Thanks!!!

Symbicort becoming less effective
I was started in
symbicort
about 6 weeks ago and it has been great for stopping the wheezing. I never had any other problems so can't comment if it has been helpful there too. However 2 days back my wheeze came back, and have started to get mucusy/thick feeling in my throat.

asthma drugs and levothyroxine
The patient information leaflet for my asthma inhaler (
symbicort
) has a warning about taking care if taking it with levothyroxine. Does anyone here know why this is? I am currently going through a really wheezy patch which I don't seem to be able to find a reason for.

Recently Diagnosed at 46
Is this the preferred drug for asthma patients and is this a cheaper drug that is on test than the similar drug given,
Symbicort
? If so can we look at changing my controlling drug to something that works without the side effects that exacerbates my asthma symptoms?

More prone to viruses, generally?
Before I was on the dreaded Clenil, and ventolin as and when, but then I ended up with Prednisolone for nearly three weeks, and since then
symbicort
200/6 8 puffs per day (as my three months post asthma attack is now up I have just started reducing that dose). The
symbicort
has helped big time.

Not sure anymore
Since then I have had ventolin,qvar,
symbicort
and fostair. I also use montelukast. They only thing that has helped me is prednisolone - 40mg a day for 8 days and I am good for four or five weeks. The inhalers do very little. A blood test shows raised ige of 527 but no triggers.

Who do I need to complain to about a GP practice refusing to prescribe me the correct medication?
Along with that I also have my preventer, the most powerful dose of
Symbicort
, 3 times in the evening, 3 times in the morning.
