User Reviews for Foradil Aerolizer inhalation

this drug is the best i've taken for my copd it has helped me so much i can now do the things i've stopped doing do to my illness now i'm free

I have been using Foradil for over 2 years. It is by far the best asthma medication I've ever taken. However, I notice a gradual shortness of breath and chest pressure if I miss a dose or it's longer than 12 hrs. since my last inhilation. I'm wondering if it's addictive ! Also, I just read that it shouldn't be taken as the only treatment for asthma. I only have to use my albuterol inhaler on occasion, mostly when I forget to take the Foradil. I'm getting a bit concerned about continuing to use this medication. Read More Read Less

I have been taking this med about 1 week and I am so exhausted it is all I can do to stay awake all day. I am a very high energy person, not anymore I am half asleep all day does anyone have a remedity for this problem? Other than that it is great.

I use this as need for difficulty with breathing associated with Allergies/bronchospasms. I have exprienced some shaking/tremors and tiredness/fatigue. This is short lived. There is no comparison to the relief I experience vs the side effects. I have had no blood sugar change or issues.

Prior to taking this drug I would get extreme shortness of breath and abdominal spasms from the shortest distance I had to walk. After taking this drug I am able to resume my normal daily activity of walking and gardening. I am using this in conjunction with a water pill (furosemide and Micardis-HCT) all twice a day.

While I experiences relief from asthma symptoms, I experienced tremors and nervousness. I discontinued after three days.

I am taking this med for COPD in leiu of the albuteral treatment by mask. I no longer have to use the albuteral treatments. It along with Spiriva appears to be working for me. Shortness of breath continues to be a problem when exercising. Also, I am experencing some dizziness occassionally.

more effective than other meds i have been prescribed. easy to use. have used for about 4 months and my breathing has definitely improved. no side effects so far.

Foradil changed my life! One inhaled capsule in the morning, and I'm symptom-free all day. Another one before bed if needed. A lifetime of meds and regimens replaced by these little capsules. I haven't noticed blood sugar or fatigue issues, like some users. I tell everyone I know how wonderful this drug is!

easier on my throat than Advair. Still too expensive for a maintenance drug. Has anyone experienced weight gain with this?

TOOK TWO TIMES AND HAD SEVERE DIARRHEA AND LIGHT HEADED. ALSO TAKE SPIRIVA BUT IN THE MORNING .FORADIL IN AFTERNOON. JUST STARTED TO TAKE AS OF TWO DAYS AGO. TOLD TO TAKE TWICE A DAY BUT DID NOT. THANK YOU

I have been really fatigued. i spend more time in bed than I do out of it. Between my primary care physician and my pulmonologist no one has addressed this fatigue.

Very effective easy to use

I have taken theophylline pills twice a day for twenty years. I was put on Foradil along with Asthmanex to replace the theophylline and I can't believe the effects. I can breathe better than when I was only taking the theophylline. I was very skeptical about stopping the theophylline "cold turkey". However, I have had no withdrawal symptoms and my breathing is great.

This medication, combined with Qvar, works much better for me than the advair I was formerly taking. I dont wake up short of breath like I did while taking advair.

Easy to use and to monitor to be sure that I got the full dose. No irritation of the throat. Much less expensive than Advair!

has worked wonders for my ability to breathe.
