Chest pain Spiriva + Symbicort++
Recently started Spiriva and found that I have more chest pain than before. Even though I cough less I feel like my chest is inflamed and have shortness of breath. Coughing plugs in mornings. I have had to add Neulin to help get through the day. Been like this for months now. I'm in Australia so now

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?!

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?

Flutiform no longer available in my country, what would be a good alternative?
The following ICS/Lama inhalers seem to be more readily available in Korea:
Symbicort
Rapihaler / Turbuhaler (Budesonide + Formoterol) Relvar Ellipta (Fluticasone + Vilanterol) Componacompact Air (Fluticasone + Salmetarol) Foster Inhaler / Nexthaler (Beclometasone + Formoterol) My doctor moved me to

Feel like I can't get all my air out
I'm on
symbicort
and spiriva but I'm not consistent with the spiriva as I feel it makes me worse to be honest. Thanks

Inhaler Recycling
A few years ago, our local Boots stopped taking my used
Symbicort
Turbohalers, which was a shame because they are very complicated and must cost the earth to manufacture. However, I’m now pleased to report that they are now recycling them, which is a lot better than putting them in plastic waste.

Asthma post COVID
I did a prednisone taper and am currently taking
symbicort
twice daily. My only symptom is persistent chest tightness/breathlessness. I'm not wheezing or ever really in danger of an attack.
Symbicort
doesn't seem to be doing much after a month in.

Issues with symbicort
Hi Portha60 I am on
symbicort
the red one, I am only on 1 puff twice a day, and go up to 2 puffs if I need to increase I can go up to 12puffs a day before I need to contact GP. Reading your present problem. I would say you need to see a gp or asthma nurse urgently. Hope all goes well for you.

Asthmatic, keep getting chest infections
I've seen a Doctor today who wasn't very helpful in giving advice as I am already on antibiotics and steroids, but did give me Montelukast and switch my Lurforbec inhaler to a
Symbicort
one at my request though I have no idea if these will help. I'm at a loss what to do.

Taste
Hello, Have recently gone back onto a combination inhaler,
Symbicort
100/3, and find that whenever I take it I get an unpleasent aftertaste in my mouth. This occurs even with using an Aerochamber and washing my mouth out afterwards. Anybody have a similar experience or have some advice?

Upset about inhalers
I’m in tears after getting home from pharmacy to discover the GP today prescribed
Symbicort
. She said it would be better than fostair but it’s the same! I just want the classic brown one! Why have they made asthma treatments so complicated? I have never had an asthma plan.

What would you do next?
I'm on the MART scheme but completely maxed out on
Symbicort
so have been supplementing with a blue. The absolute worst symptoms have been at night and I seem to have spent the end of the week begging someone to prescribe something which will let me breathe when I'm lying down.

Changing from MDIs to DPIs for the environment
In 2019 I was swapped from
Symbicort
, a DPI, to Fostair, an MDI as I was (and am) very prone to developing oral thrush. It was thought it would be better for me, especially as I can take it with a spacer (as I do consistently).

Asthma or COPD?
My asthma is pretty well controlled with daily
Symbicort
and Ventolin occasionally when needed.
