For Asthma, Maintenance "This medication is bad. It should be taken off the market. I got so sick on this. I got a very bad headache, racing heartbeat, and thrush, it made me nervous. I just felt really bad. The medication does not come out right - you either get too much medication or none at all. It does not get into the lungs, it just stays in the back of the throat, and that is how I got the thrush. My doctor now has it so the prescription is dispensed as written, so the pharmacist will now fill it with the Advair, thank goodness. Like I said, Wixela Inhub should be taken off the market as it is dangerous. If I could, I would give it a 0 rating."

For Asthma, Maintenance "Absolute garbage! I was switched from Symbicort to Wixela by the VA like many others reviewing. I have COPD and never had any exacerbations before. I have had three since starting Wixela. And an endless case of thrush. I am going to stop taking it. My lungs are much worse since starting this garbage. I don't think it's the drug itself. It's the delivery method. Just a coarse powder that sticks in your mouth and throat. I don't even think any is even reaching my lungs."

For Asthma, Maintenance "I have been using Wixela since VA switched from Symbicort approximately 6 months ago. It has worked better for me and with no thrush or other side effects. I have found it easy to use and far more effective than Symbicort."

For Asthma, Maintenance "Creek Nation quit carrying Dulera, so they switched me to Wixela. I really don't like this medication. I've never had thrush until I started taking this medication. It doesn't matter how many times or how well I wash my mouth/throat out because I get thrush at least once every single month. At one point, I had thrush so bad that I couldn't even swallow water without immense pain. I'd rather be off this medication and take my risks than deal with thrush every month. Even trying to inhale the powder is difficult; I have to hold my nose and take a sharp breath in to feel as though I get medication into my lungs."
