This drug has been highly effective for me, improved breathing numbers and allowed me to resume a very active lifestyle. I have been on it several years without issue.

This medication has totally changed my life. I have not felt this good in years. My functions went from the mid 30's to 60% since started the about 9 months ago. I would highly recommend anyone who suffers daily with asthma symptoms to try it. I went from using prednisone monthly, neb. machine 4 times daily. Now I don't use either one or any albuterol inhaler.

I have a lot of muscle cramps caused by myopathy, and they say the elevated CPK levels can cause other serious issues if not rectified. I wish I could have made it long enough for the meds to start working.

I did stop the drug for a time due to insurance issues, and wound up in the hospital within 12 months. Restarted the drug in March 2008 and have had to get rid of several drugs I used to keep on hand, because they were expired! This has been the best and least complicated ... Show Full Comment
