For Asthma, Maintenance "Gets you over the hump in regard to asthma flare-ups, and have had fewer emergency room episodes since getting this. Taking it every day is another story - it causes chest pain after about the 3rd consecutive day of use. So I generally stop using after a couple of days, and then if symptoms still persist will start up again after a day or two break from the drug. When asthma is back under control I don't take the drug at all."

For Asthma, Maintenance "My doctor gave me this medicine as a trial when I was diagnosed with adult-onset asthma. I tried Qvar first, and that gave me chest pain and tightness. This medicine had no side effects at all and worked great. The only downfall is my insurance doesn't cover this, so I have to switch to something else."

For Asthma, Maintenance "I took the drug for 9 months. After about halfway through, I moved from 1 puff in the morning and 1 at night to 2 puffs in the morning and 1 at night. After about a month, I started to get crushing pain in my chest, which I thought was asthma or bad weather. Soon, I started to get tingling across the top of my chest and pain. I went back down to 1 puff morning and night, and the chest pain went away almost immediately. This stuff is dangerous, and doctors have no clue about this. My breathing test was perfect, but then after taking these meds, everything got much, much worse. Not sure how this drug was even approved. Please teach the doctors more about this drug."

For Asthma, Maintenance "Have had asthma all my life. Asthma specialist had me on Qvar and felt great. Insurance stopped paying and was put on Flovent. Lungs went downhill in a week. Sore chest, wheezing, coughing on and off all day, and throat was sore, lung function test way down. A year later, insurance changed and I was put back on Qvar. Symptoms are gone and lung function is up and almost normal!! Thank God!"
