Symbicort 100/6 to 200/6
So the asthma nurse has now suggested trying increasing my
Symbicort
from the 100/6 (I take 2 puffs morning and night) to the 200/6. Is this likely to make any particular difference?

New inhaler
I'm being trialled on
Symbicort
MART rather than the fluticasone and salbutamol I'm currently using. Has anyone any experience of this and did they find it effective? I'm open to the idea, though a little worried, as I know salbutamol works when I need it.

peak flow is okay but struggling to breathe
My best is 550 on
Symbicort
plus Spiriva and I find that the peak flow doesn't drop below 470-500 even if I struggle to breathe with tight and burning chest? Sometimes even with confirmed chest infection and wheeze across chest as per stethoscope my peak flow sits at 500. Anyone else knows why?

Why are relievers standard with preventers.
Hi,I was wondering why it seems that we are given
symbicort
or fostair to take every morning and night regardless of wether we need a reliever at that time or not. It's my understanding that taking relievers all the time can harm the lungs?

Severe SOB
It is consistently 600/650 before and after taking
Symbicort
. Is that normal? However, despite the peak flow reading the
Symbicort
inhaler isn't working or relieving the SOB. I'm really confused! If I bend to tie shoelaces I cant breathe at all.

BRESTRI
I've been prescribed Breztri after 4 years of
Symbicort
and Spiriva which served me well. This from a respiratory specialist- I just went along as we all do. Any opinions on Breztri ?

eosinophils, cough, alopecia
I was given
Symbicort
and Alvesco inhaler but did not help. So suffering for good 6months, I was referred to pulmonary dept and there I asked to get bronchoscopy. I was diagnose with eosinophils pneumonia and put on taking steroids - prednisone.

it feels like I'll never get better
I was prescribed
Symbicort
(and Ventolin) and took normal doses at the start, but I also tried stronger doses. This caused throat pain and hoarseness, and the physician said the dose was way too high for a 20-year-old. I got prescribed montelukast 3 weeks ago, but haven't noticed any change.

Hello everyone.
I usually take 4puffs of my
Symbicort
2 in the morning and 2 at night, and when I got sick in April with bronchitis. My pulmo doctor told me to puffs 1 in the morning and 1 at night.

Recurring chest infections and phlegmy cough
My asthma medication was changed in March from Flutiform 125mg to
Symbicort
200/6. I felt even worse on this and I insisted my asthma nurse put me back on Flutiform. This she did, very reluctantly. As things weren't improving, I went to see a respiratory consultant privately.

Newly opened inhaler shakes
Hi all I’ve been on
Symbicort
200/6 Turbohaler (plus other meds) for the last 18 months or so. I wonder if anyone else finds that they get the shakes for a couple of days when using a newly opened inhaler ? Once the inhaler has been opened and used for a 3 or 4 days this seems to stop.

Moving to Symbicort from Budesonide and Salbutomol
So I went back, and she has now recomended that I switch to
Symbicort
one puff twice a day, I asked her a few times if this was ok seeing as I would be dropping the dose, but she said it would work really well. So my question is has anyone swapped like this and did it go well?!

Asthma advice
Hi all, hope you are well So I'm taking
symbicort
, spiriva and Ventolin as needed. Also was told to take montelucast an fexofendine as I do suffer hayfever and allergies etc I'll be honest I'm not very good at remembering the montelucast, does anyone take this and does it actually help?

General anaesthetic
(Fairly well controlled since I switched to
Symbicort
200/6 in January). Just a bit anxious. Thanks.
