I've been using Symbicort 80/4.5mcg for about a month now, and I've noticed some improvements in my asthma symptoms. However, I've also experienced some side effects like a bit of a dry cough and occasional hoarseness. I've read about the possible serious side effects, and it's got me a bit worried. Has anyone else had similar experiences? How do you manage the side effects? Also, I've heard that it's not meant for sudden breathing problems, so how do you guys handle flare-ups?

I've been using Advair Diskus 250/50mcg for a few months now, and I've noticed some improvements in my breathing, but I'm also experiencing some side effects that I'm not sure about. Has anyone else had issues with throat irritation or feeling jittery after using this inhaler? I've been trying to stick to the twice-daily routine as prescribed, but I'm wondering if others have found a way to manage the side effects better. Any advice or shared experiences would be greatly appreciated!
