For Asthma, Maintenance "I have been successfully using a Qvar regular old-fashioned inhaler, and my asthma (and heart palps that went with it) have been under control for now over ten years. The minute I started using the new Qvar RediHaler, everything went back. I've tried every way of enhancing the use, and it is point-blank not effective. So I'm folding and going outside of the USA to get the old version, which is available everywhere, and I hope everyone who has an issue, whether for adults or kids, will not settle because a drug manufacturer (TEVA) is protecting the US patent rights to the medicine (which is why they change the design method). Easy to get through online ordering from Canadian online services. I know by ordering out of the country I'm still helping the pharma and my insurance (because it's out of pocket...$99 for 3 inhalers of 40 mg). But we have to be smart consumers. If you go to Ecuador, you can buy inhalers right from the pharmacy without a prescription, so take a vacation!!"

For Asthma, Maintenance "I have only been using Qvar for 5 days, but so far my asthma symptoms have almost completely disappeared. I take one puff twice a day in conjunction with Singulair at night. I am giving it an 8, only because of the side effects. Hopefully, these will resolve soon, but compared to my asthma symptoms, they are tolerable. The worst side effect being a constant faint headache, but tachycardia for the first 10 minutes after use and an overall nauseated feeling for about the same. The last two aren’t as bad today as they were when I first started the medication."

For Asthma, Maintenance "I got heart palpitations, really bad-like almost constant. I was taking the 40 mcg, one puff twice a day. I switched to Flovent, and all is well."
