Adrenal Insufficiency and reducing steroid inhaler
My respiratory consultant has reduced me from 2 puffs twice a day of 160
Alvesco
to 3 puffs once a day. Now I'm feeling unwell. Could the reduction in my inhaler be impacting my adrenal insuffiency?

What to do after prednisolone rescue ended?
Story: I’m maintained on 1 or 2 puffs once a day of
Alvesco
80, PF max 380 and very occasional use of Ventolin. I caught a cold virus about 12 days ago and despite maxing my
Alvesco
to 8 puffs a day and Ventolin 8 puffs my PF dropped to 290.

Dosages
I have just been moved to 640 of
alvesco
and 800 of fostair 100 a day by my consultant. What are the rules on dosages when combining different inhalers, can you just have the maximum dosage of each inhaler.

Alvesco and fostair
My consultant has just put
Alvesco
160 into the mix twice a day. Any idea of what he is doing, apart from just increasing my steroid load.

eosinophils, cough, alopecia
I was given Symbicort and
Alvesco
inhaler but did not help. So suffering for good 6months, I was referred to pulmonary dept and there I asked to get bronchoscopy. I was diagnose with eosinophils pneumonia and put on taking steroids - prednisone.

Inhalers and tinnitus
I've recently got some
Alvesco
160 which I'm looking to start soon in the hopes that it won't have this side effect. However, I'm wondering if maybe it could be to do with the other ingredients, namely the HFA and ethanol. Has anybody had this experience on either of these inhlaers, or others?

New and Saying Hello after COVID
Inhaled steroids help some - I started on Advair but have since switched to try
Alvesco
+Incruse (LAMA) since I'm a little concerned about the possibility of bronchiolitis.

Add on drugs that are usually prescribed by a consultant part 1 (LAMAs, add-on inhalers, theo)
Whilst any plain steroid inhaler may be used for this, a special shout out to
alvesco
.
Alvesco
can be hard to source, however it has been linked to helping patients get off of oral steroids, then they can then be weaned off of the
alvesco
!

Not sure what to do
P.S I take Spiriva, Flutiform, and
Alvesco
. I'm doubled up on inhalers and have been for 2 weeks.

Experience of Using Alvesco (Ciclesonide)
If anyone has used
Alvesco
or knows someone who has, it would be so useful if they were kind enough to share their experience of the product with me.

Alvesco 160 alternative
Has anyone ever had to use an alternative to
Alvesco
160?, Is there a suitable alternative?. I have had to call 6 different pharmacies today to try to obtain my
Alvesco
160 . All have advised it is not in stock and it is coming up manufacturer problems. They are unable to obtain it.

Alvesco and headaches
Does anyone get severe headaches when taking
alvesco
? I get lots of headaches 3-4 a week anyway, but the last week they are almost beyond what I can bare. I took ibuprofen and paracetamols which just about took the edge off, but ibuprofen isn’t good for my kidneys (also got chronic kidney failure).
