Hi I had the same problem with Trimbow I had to revert back to my other inhalers within the same day I felt much better.Discuss with gp if you are unsure.Hope things improve for you.

Hi andyrew

I was changed from Seretide and was a bit rattly. I stuck with it because I was ok. Then they changed to another inhaler as they could no longer get the first changed one. I became very rattly and wheezy. I was feeling unwell but thought as it was winter and other people had coughs etc. Then I decided to ask if I could go back to Seretide as my breathing had become laboured. I expected it would take a little time to feel better but no, within half an hour of my first dose, I was breathing so much better.

I really like a bargain but the medication has to work!

Ask your doc to change the medication. Good luck!
