"Works fantastically to manage my allergy-induced asthma symptoms. Have not needed 'rescue' inhaler a single time since starting with Pulmicort. Have noticed some slight changes to my voice within the first couple of hours of each puff that slowly returned to normal over the course of the day."

"Pulmicort works well for my asthma. The problem is it can cause thrush or just a coating on the tongue. So I rinse with water thoroughly immediately after inhaling. Then rinse with Biotene. This really helps with the coating on my tongue."

"Pulmicort works beautifully, really stops the cough. I took it for 3 months. Then I lost my sense of taste, and by the end of the 4th month, I developed the most awful taste in my mouth, so I stopped it. The horrible taste gradually disappeared after one year, and my sense of taste has 'almost' come back. It has now been 17 months since I stopped the medicine. My coughing is not gone when I exhale, but very much improved and no attacks. It's the only medicine that works for me during attacks. I think once I improved, I should have cut the dose way down."

"I first took Symbicort to manage asthma, and that gave me tremors and dizziness. Now the doctor has prescribed Pulmicort, which is even more unsettling with headaches, stomach aches, dizziness, shaking, and impacting the nervous system severely. The medications help with breathing but make you a nervous wreck."

"I have developed irritation of the throat and ears, headache, feel dizzy during my morning walk, chest pain, and difficulty with my breathing."

"Works well for asthma treatment, but it's not really easy to wash your mouth after each time of use. Also causes ease of bruising and lowering the defense of the immune system."
