For Asthma, Maintenance "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."

For Asthma, Maintenance "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."

For COPD, Maintenance "This medicine has been a true miracle for me. I was on multiple medications, oxygen most of the day and night, and taking several nebulizing treatments a day. Have been on Foradil for two months and only use oxygen when I go to sleep at night, only take 3 nebulizing treatments a day, and have gotten off two of medications completely. I breathe better and feel better than I have in several years. I wish I had been given this medication much sooner. It is truly amazing the difference in the quality of my life that this medication has given me."
