"Symbicort is very good, if you take it properly. I got put on a new inhaler on friday, it's called Fostair. Really good" Yes it is i agree, it was different going from salbutamol and beclu with technique, definitely better for me personally. Is Fostair a combination inhaler too? | |||

"Yeah, Fostair is a combo of preventer and reliever, but can be used as a normal reliever. I had a puff on it yesterday when i first got it, and i haven't breathed as well as that since i was a kid!" I'm really pleased you have found something that's really changed your breathing mate | |||

"I've been on Fostair for about 8 years now, 2 puffs twice a day. Does the job. I still have Salamol as a 'handrail'. Fostair is too bulky to keep in my pocket." You can get fostair in a normal ventolin type inhaler | |||

New asthma guidelines are moving away from salbutamol/salamol as relievers as the combination inhalers are more effective so don't be surprised if you GP or asthma nurse suggests you change and use the fostair instead. | |||

So does Fostair but you can only use the 100mcg Fostair as a reliever, if you are on the 200mcg dose they will move you to Symbicort or another one called Fobumix. | |||

" Originally on beclomethasone and salbutamol. Moved to fostair then symbicort. Am now back on fostair as my preventer and salbutamol as my reliever. Been on this for over year. Only had to use my reliever maybe 6 times. | |||

"Was asthmatic as a child, was ok then came back with a vengeance after catching covid.... anyone else in a similar situation? Recently switched to Symbicort which seems to help more.... what are you taking to help you?" Montelukast is available on prescription in tablet form that has improved my asthma, along with Fostair (a preventer and reliever combined). My GP switched me from Fostair to the cheaper generic version called Luforbec and my asthma deteriorated dramatically over 3 months. Same active ingredients but clearly not the same quality as Fostair. | |||

"Could I suggest something slightly different, Make sure your vitamin D levels are up. As an asthmatic myself it made so much difference to my sensitivity and even hayfever vanished. " I've been taking vitamin D for over 2 years due to other problems, it hasn't really done anything to me regarding asthma. Thanks for the advice though and glad it has helped you | |||

"Tree pollen seems to affect me the most these days particularly after rain. Like everyone certain things trigger it. I've been on sertide 250 preventer for about 20 years." My main triggers are sprays/deodorants, smoke, dust, extreme heat and weather changes. I've suffered with extremely dry eyes for years so can't tell if that's related or not. | |||

"Mulcast tablets as well as fostair inhaler I take it the tablets are for a severe form of asthma? " Montelukast is usually prescribed for asthma in children but it can also be very beneficial for adults. Your asthma does not have to be severe but typically an adult would be prescribed them if the corticosteroid inhaler alone doesn’t seem to be managing their asthma. It has massively improved my asthma and I’d recommend speaking to your GP about it. I take Fostair 100/6 about 6 blasts a day. | |||

"Salamol and clenil modulite. But not sure if they're for the copd. Got a lung function test on Tuesday. That's going to be fun with broken and bruised ribs "Broken ribs would be contraindication for lung function testing. You will not be able to perform the test properly and results will not be accurate. Make sure you tell them prior to the test. | |||

"Does anyone with COPD use this? " I'm on a trelegy 3in1 inhaler for Copd and I take Carbocisteine tablets also. 2 years ago they found pleural thickening and pleural effusion. Had the op to drain the effusion and reinflate half a lung. Have to get scanned every 3 month and lung function test yearly. Worst bit is trying to find a woman who is 1st aid trained and has defib next to the bed   | |||
