Proxair vs fostair? For Bronchiectasis

[KatyMac]

DH has had a text saying they are changing his inhaler

He will ring the gp when he gets home

But I wonderednifbthis has happened to other people and what they thought?

They appear to be significantly different

DH had bronchiectasis and asthma rather than asthma

Proxor?

What's his current inhaler? I have asthma and bronchiectasis and they tried to switch me to fostair because of the new protocols. It didn't agree with me at all so they've allowed me to stay on seretide.

Proxor and Fostair are the same kind of inhaler. Both pressurised metered dose inhalers containing the same ingredients at the same strength. Proxor is currently more cost effective for the NHS. There would be no difference using one as opposed to the other.

He's been on fostair for ages and its been OK for him

I've managed to find the same info @ScrummyDiva2 thanks

I hate it when they change stuff with a text or worse when he collects it from the pharmacy and its different or missing (they took his doxycycline once and Papworth wrote them a strong letter)
