Every tenth capsule is empty also! | Just decided today that I am stopping this drug. I will continue with my Symbicort and my nebulizer; will also continue with my exercises and hope and pray for the best.

I am taking myself off this to see if I feel better. It's not worth it with these side affects. Never realized what's been happening all along.

Also i would get constipated and gassy once a few days past i also noticed dry mouth and extreme thirst which i found it to be annoying. It did help me breathe better but i had to stop taking it due to the chest tightness. | If you plan on taking it make sure you get samples first to see how your body reacts first.
