Hi all, had Asthma for about four years now. Was previously on the blue and brown inhalers but as of last November, was finding them less effective. My asthma nurse changed my over to Symbicort, which I find much easier to use and has greater effect. Anyone else had good/bad results from it?

I am on Symbicort. I find it good for managing my symptoms because I can take up to 12 doses a day if needed (SMART regime). If I need to take more doses over a few days, I know it's time to increase the steroids. It works well most of the time.
