Serevent Reviews
Working / Worked
I am taking serevent as a support to reducing the corticosteroid inhaler, flixotide, fluticasone di-propionate.I was unable to use the combination inhaler,seretide, because the serevent part is at a fixed dose of 50 twice a day. At 50 I got headaches and nose bleeds. Doctor reduced dose to 25 twice a day, in a separate inhaler, which stopped side effects. Our aim is to reduce and stop corticosteroid while continuing with serevent. I will then start to reduce Serevent use.
