Nothing's working
I went to nurse last Thursday, she is still not convinced I have COPD but
Symbicort
didn't help so she has given me Spiriva, Don't think this is helping, I have been more wheezy and coughing loads more.

The next step up??
Hi all, Well...I'm moaning about nothing really, and I apologise, but despite taking more
Symbicort
and salbutamol than I could count, and having singular at night as well, my peak flow is hovering around 350 and I'm feeling pretty rubbish.

Happy new year!! Confused newbie here...
Over the last year I've gone through just about every inhaler combination possible I think, had several courses of pred, and spent a long time on
Symbicort
400/12 before returning to
Symbicort
200/6 (2 puffs twice a day), but on the SMART regime.

Tips for cold weather running - please!!
It's the first thing I've aimed to do since a really difficult flare up around 18 months ago, where I had several courses of pred and my meds increased (still on the increased doses of
Symbicort
400/12 two puffs twice daily, and montelukast).

Concerned about being on prednisilone
I'm concerned about the long term side effects of being on this, but can't see an end in sight as I am also taking 6-8 puffs of
symbicort
a day, plus being on montelukast and just started on spiriva.......Asthma is still not really under control and I am fed up! I haven't been able to work.

Effects of abruptly stopping symbicort
I accidentally ran out of
Symbicort
(I take 400/12 4x daily) a few days ago. I find it hard to tell when the canister is empty. I know it's stupid to let it run out and I don't usually.

Symbicort smart
What you think Bout this new drug? Isn't it bad to inhale it as a reliever because you would be inhaling the preventer as well, at odd times during the day? I thought you do preventer morning then afternoon?

Symbicort 200/6 SMART therapy
Hi, have met brilliant respiratory specialist nurse today, and she mentioned that she loves this medication, and it might work well for me. I am to continue for now with seretide 250 and singulair, but I was wondering who has had experience of this therapy - I must admit it sounds good, I'm the sort

Hello - new here and looking for advice!
Went back to my GP two weeks ago who put me on Fostair instead of
Symbicort
to see if that helped, and if it doesn't she thinks I'll need to see a chest specialist.
