Foradil Aerolizer (formoterol) "Foradil is the only drug that has ever worked for me so effectively and I've tried almost everything. My allergist tried to get me on something else as I have a side effect from Foradil where my hands shake but I don't mind. I'm staying in this drug for as long as I can."

"This is the best medication I have ever used for asthma/respiratory distress. It is effective immediately and relaxes the muscle tissue in your airways, permitting you to breathe. I wish insurance companies saw the value in it."

Foradil Aerolizer (formoterol) "Very effective for controling Asthma, but side effects almost killed me. After a few months I became alergic to wheat. I would get attacks that would double my heart rate and reduce my blood pressure to half. Also I felt so weak that I could hardly stand up. Went to a heart speacialist and all kinds tests, they could not find anything wrong with my heart. After getting off this medication, no more problems with wheat. Note: I also experienced the same thing with Asmanex Twisthaler."
