Foster (or Fostair) inhaler demonstration and review

How to use the Foster inhaler - a practical demonstration and review of important information about this device. I talk about what it contains (medication), how it is most commonly used, common errors when taking it and important tips to help you gain the most benefit.
Foster is a very common inhaler used for asthma and COPD. It is a combination inhaler containing an inhaled corticosteroid (antiinflammatory agent) and a long acting bronchodilator (drug which opens up the airways). It is an MDI inhaler, which means it is a pressurised container which releases a puff when triggered. There is another version of this inhaler, in a different device containing dry powder - the NextHaler (see how to use this one here: • NextHaler (Foster/Fost... ).
Always discuss with your doctor about your inhaler treatment, to make sure you are using the intended doses for your own particular case.

[@nietzschescodes]

thanks. Neither my 2 docs nor the pharmacist told me how to use it correctly, nor told me that I had to wash my mouth after. I didn't know that it had to be synchronized exactly that way.

[@Pepsipelotta]

Thanks for explaining it so thoroughly. I inhaled it incorrectly for a while but now I know!

[@kittybala7951]

Great information. I use it everyday for my asthma with spacer

[@Different-Level]

How are you finding it? My doc just prescribed me this. Changing from cymbicort

[@beckhyniazi2939]

How long you are taking it from ? It has some effects even you use it for years ?

[@silviaibarra6771]

Wonderful information.I also did changed from Viani disc as I had it after three years,the problem was after we got the Sahara sand which covered many places of the world I had big problems.
Let see the change as today my first day.
Thank you Kitty for what you wrote.

@@beckhyniazi2939 I've been using my fostair since January this year. I find it difficult using it without the spacer. The spacer is recommended I take it with me all the time.

[@ktrnlpzs]

Thanks for this, doc! I was advised to use this after Using Seretide for several years. Cool to know that it’s both a control and rescue med in one

[@Nali296]

I like fostair , its lighter on my throat than ventolin , and thanks for the demonstration

[@SeditiousSpyke]

9:13 this is crucial information i was looking for & while this video is VERY informative (Thank you so much!) it's very much buried at the back of the Video

[@tahirmasood3249]

❤ Good demonstration.

[@Different-Level]

I just got this inhaler and changed from cymbicort, I've noticed its given me a very dry cough and even last night I had a sore throat and think this is the culprit. Is this a common side effect?

[@Different-Level]

Thank you

[@mziyad1553]

Did we need to wash our mouth first before use that inhaler?

[@mickeygoldmill3965]

I’ve have nose bleeds since using this is that common?

[@nietzschescodes]

is it true that we need to throw it away 3 months after using it for the first time?

[@marceladiaz600]

No entiendo como siendo recomendado para los bronquios se tenga que conservar con hielo seco encrefrigeradora

[@starflower9015]

Does anyone understand the counter at the back? Mine was showing 121? Why didn't it start at 1? My last one started at 114? I am so confused?

[@ktrnlpzs]

It’s a metered dose inhaler so the counter at the back tells you how many actuations or puffs you have left. The box or the canister would tell you how many actuations you can get out of 1 inhaler.

[@danishsoomro2946]

Hello Dr,
Can we use foster nexthaler without having asthma?

[@DrStefanCristianStanel]

made a video trying to answer this in more detail. however in theory yes, your doctor may prescribe an inhaler in another situation as well

[@karenczischke5169]

what is the difference with a classical MDI?

[@DJ4BLUE1FEMALEDJ]

The foster one

[@coolguy1538]

Can you use the fostair canister in the ventolin one, I don't fancy carrying a pink inhaler around with me. Thank you. Very informative.

[@shahanaali6144]

It is advised to not use this after 3 months after the date dispensed but has not expired. Can I still use it? It's unused and I don't want to throw it away lol

[@DrStefanCristianStanel]

these are the instructions from the producer because it is transported and kept cold in the pharmacy and after it is dispensed it should be kept and used at room temperature for up to 3 months. Can double check with your pharmacist though

Where I buy that doc.I’m watching in japan

[@analenkudo836]

I have a ashma doc.

[@starflower9015]

You can only get it on prescription from your Dr dear.

[@amanus9681]

you say slow but do it not slowly

[@DJ4BLUE1FEMALEDJ]

Too hard to use
