I have been asked by our dr surgery in house pharmacist to take the Fostair inhaler at lunch time which is an extra dose. While it opens the air waves, it also gives you cramps in your legs and hands, which is very painful and also miserable. I can't rest with my legs up as my feet start to lock. My fingers and palms are painful and you daren't try and straighten them fear of doing any damage.
Hi
, and thanks for sharing your recent experience with the community. Based on what you've said - the side effects that you mentioned - I would suggest you take this up with the doctor and/or pharmacist that advised you to use an extra dose of the medication (Fostair). I am sure they would want to know how this medication (and the extra dose), is affecting you.
What do you think?
