Nuelin - Theophylline
If I shake taking
symbicort
are my shakes likely to get worse? Should I be asking my GP about blood tests when i go and see him, the consultant never mentioned anything but I read in the leaflet that comes with the medication that they might want to check potassium levels. Beth

Symbicort to be liscenced as a reliever?
At the chest clinic the Resparitory nurse was telling me that
Symbicort
is going to be liscenced as a reliever soon. Apparently after Easter I can take my usual two puffs twice a day and the odd puff in between if I need it.

Symptoms or not?
The asthma nurse has increased my
symbicort
to 4 puffs twice daily and for the first two weeks the need for my blue inhaler fell of dramatically. The last few days I have found that I am needing it more but my peak flow is still on the same level. Is this usual?

Fostair and spacers
Hi again, I have just had my meds changed from
Symbicort
(eating more of it than breathing it in) to Fostair. I asked for something that could be used with a spacer and now find that it clearly states on the side of the box not to use Fostair with a spacer.

Ventolin & Symbicort
Is it normal for someone to be using both of these? I thought they were both reliever treatments? (but I don't have any proper knowledge!) Thanks!

Any advice welcomed please!
I'm on the usual works medicines wise
Symbicort
, Singulair, Uniphylline etc. unfortunately, although I have lots of allergies I have very low IgE levels(which I know can happen) so can't get Xolair. Does anybody have any other ideas as to whether there is any other type of medication left??

What kind of experiences do you have on using

Seretide/Symbicort
Could anybody tell me whether Seretide is a stronger inhaler than
Symbicort
? Or is it that they are just completely different medications. I have had a higher peak flow with Seretide but have recently been put on
Symbicort
because of the shakiness I had from Seretide.

Asthma playing up
Don't know what they can do though, as i am on Singulair 10mg, Ventolin,
Symbicort
200/6 was on 400/12, but they reduced it back in May as i had a couple of months symptoms under control, and they said if my asthma flared up again they would have no where to go ?

Re not sure if it's coincidence or to do with Ventolin
I am on Atrovent 20mg 2 puffs 4 times daily,
Symbicort
200/6 2 puffs twice daily (although not been able to take for nearly a week as i can not take a deep enough breath to inhale the powder) and ventolin.

Extra preventer doses with a cold
Now I can understand this with a regular preventer only inhaler but is this true when you have a long acting reliever built in like with
symbicort
? Christine
