QVAR 80  (BECLOMETHASONE DIPROPIONATE):  Beclomethasone is used to prevent and control symptoms (wheezing and shortness of breath) caused by asthma. This medication belongs to a class of drugs known as corticosteroids. It works by reducing the swelling of the airways in the lungs to make breathing easier. This medication must be used regularly to prevent breathing problems (attacks of wheezing/shortness of breath). It does not work right away and should not be used to relieve an asthma attack. If an attack occurs, use your quick-relief inhaler as prescribed.   FDA Approval Date: 2000-09-15 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

 1  Asthma The first couple of days were fine. After that, my asthma gradually worsened similar to my experience with Advair. Then I got a sore throat and thrush. Eventually, I got severe vertigo and nausea. My vision also changed. I decided I cannot live like that so I quit. My allergist thinks I'm non-compliant. When I quit my asthma improved and the nausea and dizziness disappeared. The drug companies are making a fortune of these drugs. I intend to read after market studies, before I take anything else.

 1  The dr thought my son had asthma My son started having leg tremors and terrible thoughts. His mind was racing and he wasnt able to sleep. He experienced this during the day also. This medicine is not for children. Read all the side effects especially the psychomotor activity that is causes children to have before placing your child on this medicine M 10 6 weeks

 3  Breathing issues I am more easily irritable than usual. I maybe wouldn't have known it was the drug at first as I usually feel there are legitimate triggers to set me off, but I find that since I've been on QVAR it takes a lot less to ruin my mood, sometimes things that should be really trivial. The benefits are quite good. I used to need a puff of ventolin at least once a day to overcome feelings of breathlessness, but since being on QVAR I have had to fall back on Ventolin 0 times.

 1  persistent asthma cough It took me almost two weeks to realize that QVar is the cause of my 11 year old's frightening bronchspasms and complete apnea, whether asleep or awake. 3-4 times a day she has an episode where after one or two coughs her throat completely constricts and she simply cannot breathe. We have been through hell! I also couldn't understand a sudden severe change in her mood and she has been talking about suicide and today opened the car door on the high way and told me later she wanted to jump out. Do not give this medicine to your children!!!! I am now afraid about weaning her off. What can be worse than this? F 11 2 weeks

 1  Asthma Headaches, neck pain, spasms, the worst were in my throat it felt like my throat was closing, high blood pressure, anxiety, itching, dizziness, and sore throat. This is the worst medicine I have ever experienced. I went to my doctor for my thyroid and she put me on medicine for that and she also said I needed to get on qvar for my asthma. I went to the doctors countless of times trying to figure out what was wrong with me and come to find out it was the qvar all along. I have been off it for 3 days now and I'm still having a horrible time. I suggest no one ever touch this medicine it's been a nightmare for me. F 25 3 weeks
