Comment from: 35-44 Male on Treatment for 1-6 months (Patient)

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. Published: January 05, 2008 ::

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. Published: December 31, 2007 ::

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! Published: December 28, 2007 ::

Comment from: Mom_of_Four, 45-54 Female on Treatment for 2-5 years (Patient)

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! Published: July 20, 2008 ::

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. Published: September 18, 2008 ::

easier on my throat than Advair. Still too expensive for a maintenance drug. Has anyone experienced weight gain with this? Published: July 09, 2008 ::
