For Asthma, acute: “The worst medicine ever. I feel very bad when I take this medicine. I also get welts and bruise like sores on my back and arms after I inhale this medicine. It appears every time. I don’t feel better at all. This medicine makes me sicker.”
For Asthma, Maintenance: “If it weren't for this drug, I would not be alive. It has saved my life on numerous occasions of asthma attacks. I love it.”
For COPD, Maintenance: “This inhaler works very quickly to open airways.”
For COPD, Acute: “I find that using 30 minutes before activity is much more helpful than the recommended 10 - 15 minutes. My COPD is in the moderate stage.”
For COPD, Acute: “Getting a lot of blisters on my top of my hands stop using this for a while and blisters disappear”
For Asthma, Maintenance: “Works efficiently. I've experienced NO Side Effects. I can count on this medication to work when I need it.”

For Asthma, Maintenance: “It works, but every time I use it it causes my heart to speed up really fast and my hands to shake. I avoid it, and I won't use it even if I know I should. I've used it between or during classes and had a hard time note taking because my hands would not stay still. Of course, the important thing is being able to breathe...”
