Advair or Spirivia Muscle Cramps
Has anyone else experienced muscle cramps with either of these inhalers. I stopped the Spirivia and still having them so, I think it's the advair causing them.
Yes, have been on Spirivia and have had lot of cramps. Not sure if it was the Spirivia but lots of muscle cramps in feet, legs and hands.
did you tell your Dr?
I thought it was Spirivia but stop it for 36 hours and cramps did not subside. So I think it's the advair. Spirivia was helping me breath better.. Just used it this morning no side effects.
Yes I did.
what did he suggest?
Hi
and , and thanks for being engaged in this conversation. It's an interesting topic!
I will say that medications may be associated with all types of side effects. Some may be common, while still others may not only be less common, but often times not known until someone steps forward and reports them.
I say this from a wealth of experience with many patients and various medications. If, as each of you suspects, the issues you are discussing (muscle cramping), turns out to be so - you will certainly want to discuss it with your respective physicians.
I would suggest you keep at it until a diagnosis is reached and a solution found. If the medications are helping then it becomes even more important to find a solution to the side effect concern.
Please do check back and let us know how this all turns out for you.
Good luck!
Leon (site moderator COPD.net)Hi Kloker, Im no longer taking Symbacort. It didn't help me. I'm taking Breo, incruse and Ventolin. This is 1 day trying incruse and no notice some chest discomfort. Cramping and muscle is improving since I stopped the Spirivia though. I have the ipo & Albuterol ampsules if needed. But I was taking atrovent and the main ingredient is the ipo. I had a bronchospasm attack. I guess they call it. Couldn't not breath. It was terrifying. What is I've never heard of the other medicine. I will look it up. Thank you for the helpful feedback. I appreciate it.
Hi again, threexblessd - this sounds promising, as you said. Let's hope the improvement continues moving forward.
Good luck and please do keep us posted.
All the best,
