Fostair - anyone using this?
Hi I am currently taking
Symbicort
200/6 - 8 puffs a day and Spiriva dry 18mcg which has given me pretty good control since I started the spiriva. I have had a flare up for no apparent reason which has not settled despite a short course of Pred.

Tooth Problems
I have the
symbicort
turbohaler and there is no other way of taking it. My appointment isn't until the 19th Jan and I dunno what I can do until then. Any suggestions? Christine

Faulty Symbicort inhalers
Has anyone out there who uses
Symbicort
ever come across a defective inhaler? I have been on this for a couple of years in varying doses. I started a new inhaler last week and wasn't convinced it was ""clicking"" right. I used it for a day or so and my asthma started to deteriorate.

Told off for using A&E!
He currently takes
symbicort
, ventolin, singulair, slo-phyllin, tilade and 10mg alternate day pred. At the beginning of last month Jay came down with a chest infection and was prescribed Clarithromycin, it set his asthma off so I also started a couse of Pred (40mg).

odd pattern of attacks?
Seem to be steadily getting worse and taking a long time to feel better-really struggling to breathe in or out, slight unproductive cough, tight chest, hideous wheeze and chest pain, using a combo of the
symbicort
and a ventolin with a spacer- beyond reccomended dosage.

more frequent attacks
I'm already on
symbicort
, montelukast and salbutamol but was wondering if there are any other (safe) ways of trying to cut down the number of attacks i'm having.

I have increased the
symbicort

order of adding new medications
I’m currently just on
symbicort
, singulaire and ventolin, managed six months off maintenance pred but over the last couple of months have been having so many courses I think I’d have been better back on a maintenance dose (overall dose would have been lower).

Double dose of preventer
Have doubled up preventer (
symbicort
200/6) so now on 4 puffs twice a day. But how long should it take for me to notice a difference? Thanks, Christine

Beclametasone + salmeterol versus Symbicort
Hi Just wondered what the difference was and is a combined inhaler anymore effective? I take the drugs seperately. Jen
