Collected a new prescription for my seretide inhaler.
Ended up with the cheaper generic sirdupla. Bloody stuff is making me wheeze every time I take it :-( So much so that I'm having to hit my ventolin.
Pharmacist didn't mention they were about to palm me off with this st. Not chuffed!
Anyone else experience this?

Anyone correct my stupid spelling in the topic heading please?

Thanks for all of the replies, appreciated!

Went back to the pharmacist, explained what had happened and she swapped it for my usual seretide.

On checking the prescription issued the doc has been, mmmmmm, a bit general with what has been prescribed. Fluticasone 125 micrograms/Salmeterol 25 micrograms. This is apparently not my usual prescription and the pharmacist did say that someone should have checked before issuing me with the sirdupla.

All sorted now and I will double check in future as opposed to just handing the prescription over.
