Formoterol "Foradil is the only drug that has ever worked for me so effectively, and I've tried almost everything. My allergist tried to get me on something else as I have a side effect from Foradil where my hands shake, but I don't mind. I'm staying on this drug for as long as I can."

"This is the best medication I have ever used for asthma/respiratory distress. It is effective immediately and relaxes the muscle tissue in your airways, permitting you to breathe. I wish insurance companies saw the value in it."

Formoterol "Very effective for controlling asthma, but side effects almost killed me. After a few months, I became allergic to wheat. I would get attacks that would double my heart rate and reduce my blood pressure to half. Also, I felt so weak that I could hardly stand up. Went to a heart specialist and all kinds of tests, they could not find anything wrong with my heart. After getting off this medication, no more problems with wheat. Note: I also experienced the same thing with Asmanex Twisthaler."
