I Was Started On 2 New Steroid Inhalers Last April, Duoresp Spiromax And Eklira Genuair, I Lost My Sense Of Smell Just After. Anyone Else?
A MyCOPDTeam Member asked a question 💭

I am wondering if i may have Aspergillosis as one of the symptoms is reduced ability to smell, although mine has gone completely, and i cannot taste food or drink flavours either, have a metallic bad taste in mouth all the time, so depressing, can anyone help?

Hi I've been on eklira genuair for some time with no noticeable effects, but not the other inhalers your on, I take you wash your mouth out with mouth washes after inhaling as there steroid based you need to, it can interfere with taste buds and at worst get thrush in your mouth, hope this helps, Breath easy my friend.
