Catch 22 Again.
On Saturday day-by-day blood sugar level was 7.5 and on Sunday 8.9 - I stopped using
symbicort
at that point in time. This morning, the same practice nurse phoned me asking about my cessation of
symbicort
. She suggested there was no no evidence that
symbicort
had caused this anomaly.

Symbicort, flow of medication
Took my usual dose of
symbicort
this evening and it felt a bit strange, almost like there was something preventing the air being sucked in properly from the device. Has anyone had this before? Is it to do with the mouthpiece being accidentally rotated at some point?

Symbicort

Symbicort to Advair Diskus?
I've been on
Symbicort
160/4.5 for almost 2 years for asthma. I just got new health insurance and they will only approve Advair Diskus. Should I be worried about it not working as well or getting sick from switching? Does anyone have any experience or advice? Thank you!

Asthma and AF
I have used
Symbicort
200mg twice daily for some years to open the lungs, nothing stronger but during a routine asthma check up the nurse noticed the rattling and suggested a puff of ventalin.

What is wrong with me? Losing the will to live!
I knew I had it but daily preventer (2x
symbicort
morning and night) and bricanyl couple of times a week kept it in check.

I had telephone call from GP regarding bad bruising on my forearms & feet as well as swollen ankles & feet, I thought that it was perhaps due to changing over to FostairNext from
Symbicort
400, I had gone back on to
Symbicort
until I got call from GP...

Symbicort 100/6 for COPD?
Hi. I've just been prescribed this inhaler in place of Fostair. I was diagnosed with COPD in 2010 after initial confusion as to whether I had Asthma. The tests confirmed COPD not Asthma. Reading the package leaflet it tells me this inhaler is SPECIFICALLY for Asthma! It doesn't even mention COPD! In

From Fostair to Symbicort
I spoke to my asthma nurse and she put me on
Symbicort
200/6 instead. I asked her if this was the equivalent dosed steroids and she said yes. But I’ve read step up/down documents that state otherwise. That
Symbicort
200/6 is equivalent to Fostair 100/6.

Mildest inhaler for copd
For some inexplicable reason - well giving up sugar and doubling exercise might be part of it - I have dropped my requirement for 8 doses of
symbicort
a day, which Ive been on for years, to just 2.
