No Rx yet, till hopefully Monday. I will miss a few days after a month or so of the sample 2 puffs 2 x day. Along with 1 x day Spiriva Respimat. This is for moderate COPD recent diagnosis. Question is - is it any risk to be suddenly off the QVar?

I was wondering I take 2 puffs of Qvar twice a day it is a steroid does it make one fat since it is a steroid ## QVar contains the active ingredient Beclomethasone. It may cause some mild weight gain, but this is not usually associated with the inhaled forms. Common ones can include: funny taste in mouth, funny smells, cough and hoarseness. Read more here: Is there anything else I can help you with? ## iam using Qvar for 1months and my hair is falling out would it be a side affect from the drug? ## I've gained weight. My sugar cravings are gone. Started the inhaler last week but did another one before. I'm doing the drops dymista 2 times a day and montelukast at night. Will My hair fall off? I got sick January. And your medicine is helping get rid of flamge. Worried getting fater

I have been prescribed 4 puffs twice a day on Qvar, and it's helping with the breathing but it's also making me voraciously hungry ALL THE TIME. My Doctor seems to think that this dosage will be helpful for me, but I'm concerned. I also take Marshmallow Root to thin the mucus and wonder if that could have any interactions with the Qvar. Any thoughts/comments/suggestions? I'm scared to be on steroids for such a long length of time as I'm already overweight. ## There are other possible concerns to long-term steroid use, aside from just the weight gain. You could also experience compromised immunity, fluid retention and other issues. Learn more Qvar details here. And as to feeling hungry, you'll really have to put some willpower into controlling how much you eat and...

I have just been prescribed Omeprazole for suspected acid reflux. As I am still breathless from previous bronchitis, can I still take Salamol (blue) and Qvar (Beclometasone Dipropionate? ## Hi Nemo, I think you'll be happy to know that Omeprazole does not have any interactions with the active ingredients found in Salamol or Qvar. So in my honest opinion, they are safe to take together. Is there anything else I can help you with? I wish you a quick recovery from the bronchitis!

I have just been prescribed Omeprazole for suspected acid reflux. As I am still breathless from previous bronchitis, can I still take Salamol (blue) and Qvar (Beclometasone Dipropionate? [my original email address has no capital P at the end of it - the address below is the correct one!] ## Hi Nemo, The two medications Salamol and Qvar, (which are often combined in clinical practice), may result in additive hypokalemic effects. Hypokalemia is a lower-than-normal amount of potassium in the blood. Symptoms: A small drop in potassium usually doesn't cause symptoms. However, a big drop in the level can be life threatening. "Other than that", my research shows that there are no drug interactions found between the active ingredients in Omeprazole, Salamol, and Qvar, I hope this in...

Was soundly berated because I hadn't picked up prescription for months. I tried to explain I hadn't been able to afford the prescriptions. Then I was told off because I asked for a repeat prescription for Serevent inhaler which I use with the Qvar inhaler I tried to point out that the Qvar had 200 doses whereas the Seravent had 120, therefore I was going to run out of the Serevent before I ran out of the Qvar. She wouldn't listen, told me off as if I were a child. I am 60 years old and have had asthma all my life. I came away feeling depressed and angry. ## Hello, Cat! How are you? I am so very sorry about what happened to you. Obviously, this woman has no people skills and shouldn't be working with the public. Stuff like this happens to everyone, from time to time and s...

Hi. I’ve just used this Symbicort inhaler for the first time but I’m not feeling anything hitting the inside of my mouth like I used to with Salbutamol and Qvar. Is this right or is the inhaler not working correctly?
