For Asthma "I've used this twice now, and it has been great! Much better than similar inhalers. I had pneumonia that was not resolving, and this was prescribed. Within two days, I had dramatic improvement. The second time, I had a sudden asthmatic flare and was crashing, not resolving well. Same thing-within two days, dramatic improvement. Downside, it makes me very shaky for a short duration, maybe up to 2 hours. Seems to increase the appetite slightly. Also, a slightly foggy-headed feel, but it fades soon. Mind you, this is in conjunction with oral steroids, so some effects might be less if the others were removed. I would gladly use this again for a serious asthma flare that was not resolving."

For Asthma, Maintenance "Dulera helped my asthma disappear - it was amazing! Now the effects: I feel like I can barely think, my vision is blurry, I gained about 7 pounds, always hungry, moody, and excessively tired. I’d rather not breathe!"

For Asthma "I have severe asthma and my heart stopped on Father’s Day this year from having an asthma attack. It’s the second time I’ve gone into cardiac arrest from an attack and waking up the next day on life support. Since June, I’ve been on Dulera, taking 2 puffs twice a day, and it has helped tremendously. I can breathe!! I’ve gone from constantly short of breath, waking up in the middle of the night in attacks, it was awful. The only thing that’s scaring me, though, is I’m gaining weight. I’ve put on about 10-15 pounds since June. Without changing my diet, I’ve noticed I feel hungry a lot. I’ve always had a little weight on me, but I don’t want to get to that point where I’m depressed about my weight. I already get that way as it is. I’m just on the fence about what I should do."
