Accolate (zafirlukast) for Asthma, Maintenance "I have had asthma for over 24 years and had not been successfully treated until I was prescribed Accolate. The only side effect I have experienced is diminished appetite, which is minimal. I would recommend it for asthmatics who have not been able to tolerate, or have not had successful treatment with inhalers or nebulizers."

Accolate (zafirlukast) for Asthma, Maintenance "I would like to make a comment about Accolate. After several different medicines years ago, this was the one that kept my asthma under control. Over the years the price has continued to rise even with my insurance. This past year it went up to a point I had to give it up. It has been a nightmare ever since. Through trial and error my doctor and I have come up with a satisfactory medicine, but nothing will ever compare to the Accolate. I continue to wait for a generic version to come out. I hope it is soon. Ever since discontinuing the use of it, I have acquired bronchitis more than once. I never used to get it."

Accolate (zafirlukast) for Asthma, Maintenance "I have had asthma all my life. About 10 years ago I found Accolate from an advertisement on TV and asked my Doctor for a prescription. I haven't had problems with my asthma since. It has improved my quality of life so much I cannot even express my thankfulness. I will never stop taking it. No other medicine could help me and every winter I would spend in the hospital. Thank you, thank you, thank you."

For Asthma, Maintenance "My doctor said that I was going to die by the age of 30 if I didn't stop smoking. I was 21 years old when she said this. I am now 52. When I was 21, I was on the borderline of emphysema; how she explained it to me is that I am on the fence right now and I can change my diagnosis and get rid of the emphysema and live a long life or die by the age of 30. I was put on Accolate the first week it was out, and I have been on it ever since. My life was saved by my doctor and this medication, and my greatest hope for all asthmatics is that they have a chance to have their lives saved by this drug. I was on a nebulizer and 2 different types of pills and inhalers. My doctor passed away when I was 29 1/2 years old of cancer, and I have had survivor's guilt ever since."
