Asthma, Maintenance
"Not really a wonder medicine.  Been on this 200 mcg powder for nearly 3 months and the Pharmacist told me it&#039;s a type of steroid that takes 3-4 months to work.  The Pharmacist also said that once it kicks in, I won&#039;t need to use my rescue inhaler (Ventolin) anymore.  Well, it&#039;s been a solid 3 months, and all I can say is that it&#039;s not doing anything to me at all.  No side effects, but no notice of change in my breathing at all either.  I still need my inhaler 3-4 times per day.  So I am not knocking this drug, but in my experience, it&#039;s HIGHLY overrated by Pharmacists.  Had asthma for over 40 years, and this is not the &quot;end all be all&quot; drug for me.  Oh well, thank goodness for my Ventolin!  :-)  I will update again in 3 more months."
