| 2 | asthma | stunted growth, "yeast" diaper rash/thrush | My now 2.5 year old took pulmicort daily (at first 2.5 twice daily, then once) for asthma control. I think it did offer some control, however she still had asthma flares requiring albuterol while taking pulmicort as "maintenance". I was concerned about the side effects and "weaned" her off pulmicort while making all kinds of "smaller" changes (eg, eliminated milk products from her diet, added magnesium, changed some environmental factors). In four months at the end of the taper period and off the drug she jumped from below 50%-tile in height to 75th%-tile in height. No more diaper rash, either. (note: her siblings average about 80%-tile in height). I think this stuff does work to control inflammation - but for mild-moderate asthma in children it is like using a nuclear weapon to kill the bugs in your garden, with vigilance and research you can tread "more lightly" on your (or your child's) body. Also - there are no 10-20 year out studies f | F | 1 | 1 years | 7/6/2006 | 1 | Asthma, cough | Coughing, irratibility, extreme tiredness, but inability to sleep. Too young to know for sure, but may be having signs of aggression. | This medicine was prescribed to my child and I was led to believe that without it her asthma would keep her in the hospital. While on Pulmicort she's been to the ER twice and admitted to the hospital once. I was told there were no side effects, but her coughing increased dramatically. Each time I complained of her cough, they increased her dose. Finally after researching on my own, I learned coughing IS a side effect. Now that she's off it, she's not coughing and sleeping through the night. We still have to deal with her asthma, but Pulmicort definately did NOT help and may have even made things worse. | F | 1 | 2 months | 10/13/2007 | 1 | asthma | You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA.
