Question:

I just found out I have asthma and have to go on the inhaler…any advice for 1st timers I’m nervous. Heather

Response:

Been using it for a while and found it better then others. Just a little hard to understand at first especially when its time to replace it. http://www.twistclickinhale.com/ Are you using Albuterol also, if so keep that inhaler with you at all times. Lane

I have been using this medication for ~3 years.  I have had no problems.   — "We are fighting today for security, for progress, and for peace, not only for ourselves but for all men, not only for one generation but for all generations.

Just be aware that in rare cases, steroids can have serious side effects. For example, they can cause diabetes (I believe that has happened to me). I think it would be a good idea to have your doctor regularly check you for any sign of diabetes or other adverse effects of the steroid inhaler.

or feel anything actually being dispensed.  Did your doctor give you the practice inhaler with the cloths?  This particular drug was a lifesaver for me. Denice
