I've just been prescribed Fluticasone/Salmeterol Inhaler 230/21mcg 120s for my asthma. I've heard it's quite effective but also has some serious side effects. Has anyone used it for both asthma and COPD? How did it affect your breathing? Also, I'm a bit worried about the side effects, especially the severe ones. I don't want to end up in the hospital. Is it common to experience these side effects? How do you manage them? Any tips would be appreciated!
