Fostair is a combination med of a long acting beta agonist and an inhaled corticosteroid and is used primarily in Australia. It seems it is a generic LABA/ICS combination med, manufactured by a company called Trinity Chiesi Pharmaceuticals which is based in the UK. Most people on this board and probably on most of the boards and forums you'll find use meds manufactured and available in the US. That's not to say anything about how well any of the meds work or for whom. As I understood the documentation, the 200/6 is generally prescribed for asthma and the 100/6 for COPD, but later in the document it appeared that isn't always the case.

I have been on both 200/6 after a while became tachycardia so they lowered my dose 100/6 .. Apparently commonly used for asthma. I have been given several different meds but not found one that agrees so I have stuck to fostair.

Hi Jean / Teresa thank you for your comments i was on Fostair 100/6 for approx a week and i just as well not have taken anything so they gave me Fostair 200/6 + Incrusea which works for approx 9 hours then i need to take the Fostair again then again before bed, was wondering if anyone had found anything better.
