I have had asthma most of my life. As I got older, the asthma got more severe. This is the only medication that I've tried that actually works! Haven't had to use the rescue inhaler in months. Best drug ever!!!

Was using Advair and occasional Albuterol. Definitely breathe better with no Albuterol but the "hack attacks" and fatigue are unbearable after only one week, nausea at two weeks. Going back to Advair.

I recently changed from Advair to Dulera due to the continued laryngitis with Advair use. I am impressed with the increased lung function and more importantly - No Laryngitis. The somewhat negative side effect is the "Hack Attack" which occurs an hour or so after inhalation, and produces copious amounts of phlegm. Maybe that is the good news.

I do not know if this is a side effect, but after using the Dulera I cough and cough until I cough up sputum. This occurs about two hours after taking the Dulera. If I don't take the Dulera there is no cough, but I get chest tightness after not using it for a day. I am currently seeing a Pulmonologist and he doesn't think the Dulera is causing the cough. He thinks it's sinus. I was taking Advair, ... Show Full Comment

I've had allergic asthma during my entire life. Most severe during allergy seasons. ProAir and the likes did give me prompt short term relief in most cases. Dulera did give me lasting relief, loosened up the tightness in my chest and lungs immediately and enabled free breathing and increase of stamina with relatively no heart pounding. However after the tenth treatment I began to feel strange. Headaches, blurred vision, and thrush infection. I've discontinued taking Dulera. I am scheduled to see my doctor tomorrow. I am concerned about the long lastng effects of this drug. I am told that it loosens heart and lung muscles, but what about the long term effects of weakening these muscles?
