| 5 | Asthma | There has been no other inhaled steroid that has helped me as much as Qvar,and I have tried many. It took a few weeks to really see a difference in my symptoms, however it was well worth the wait. Qvar is not a rescue inhaler, as I still use mine to open up during an asthma attack. However, it has cut down on my use of them dramatically as my asthma is now better controlled. , Any new inflammations in my lungs, which trigger my asthma, have diminished greatly, I am diligent with mouth rinsing as per instructions to avoid thrush, which I had once in all the years I have taken it which could or could not be related. Qvar has helped me immensely. I also take Singulair. Everyone is different, as you need to find what helps you. But for me it's Qvar and Singulair that did the trick! | F | 59 | 6 years Qvar80 | 2/6/2016 | 1 | Allergies induced Asthma | Our 7 year old has allergies to mostly Dogs and Cats, lately due to pneumonia he was exposed to a German Shephard which induced an asthma attack in him and he ended up in the hospital. After that we went to seek help from Allergist, after admitting some tests he prescribed QVAR, saying it's better than SingulAir. About 2 weeks into his treatment, nightmares starting to surface. He'd wake up screaming and scared, also complained of leg pain, his appetite seemed to suffer too. Reading previously about SingulAir, these side-effects seemed familiar, so we decided to take him off it as last 2 nights were sleepless. He has been off it for a day now, last night was awful, he would have night Terrors, Hallucination, tremors and shaking, waking up in the morning not remembering anything. How dare they prescribe stuff like that to children, which where I read mostly have these side effects, they aren't doctors, they're butchers, lining up their own pockets. | We told the doctor it was allergies induced and most of the times he's fine, he still went ahead and prescribed this awful drug. I hope the side-effects from withdrawal go away quick as I can't watch my child suffer from it like this and instead going to keep his away from animals, keep the house clean, change the diet and seek some natural way of helping him go through this. STAY AWAY FROM THIS DRUG! | M | 7 | 14 days 2X day | 1/18/2016 | 1 | Allergies induced Asthma | Our 7 year old has allergies to mostly Dogs and Cats, lately due to pneumonia he was exposed to a German Shephard which induced an asthma attack in him and he ended up in the hospital.

STAY AWAY FROM THIS DRUG! | M | 7 | 14 days 2X day | 1/18/2016 | 4 | asthma and allergies | My biggest complaint is that the medication is for 120 application and it consistently runs out after 70 applications. This is an over priced medication and the least they can do is not cheat you on the amount of medication supplied | M | 69 | 60 days 30mg 2X day | 1/17/2016 | 4 | Asthma | Fullness in stomach after eating | Loss of appetite | F | 75 | 1 months Once a day | 12/11/2015 | 1 | Asthma/Cough | My daughter was prescribed this for possible asthma and a horrible cough that was keeping her up at night. The day after her first dose she broke out it in hives, lost her appetite and threw up. She's since stopped, but two days after she's still getting random hives. This medication is awful. Never give it to your child. | F | 5 | 2 days 80MCG | 10/20/2015 | 1 | asthma | None | Just did not work | F | 52 | 10 days | 10/4/2015 | 2 | Asthma after getting sick. Dr. | Prescribed Qvar because my doctor felt that because I cough occasionally (lying down, hiking) he felt it was not under control. Recently got sick, severe coughing pursued, Qvar did not help.I was just told yesterday I have a mass in my lung. Additional testing is necessary. It may be nothing, may be something. First chest x'ray after one year and I wonder if it has anything to due with using Qvar? I stopped taking Qvar for two weeks now. After seeing a different MD, he agreed that I may only need a recue inhaler when I exercising/hike. Hopefully, additional testing will find my lung to be fine. | F | 55 | 1 years 80 2X day | 8/28/2015 | 5 | Allergies | No side effects | This stuff is amazing. No more nasal swelling. No more nose crease from rubbing my nose. My only complaint is the price I'm paying 80.00 a month after insurance. | F | 35 | 2 years 80mcg | 7/26/2015 | 5 | Asthma | Made me very drowsy and nauseous. I took this before bedtime and Breo in the morning. | Qvar helped my asthma symptoms a great deal. It's to bad I had to stop it. | M | 36 | 2 months 80 MCG | 7/1/2015 | 1 | asthma triggered by severe cold | Lost sense of smell after using QVAR. During one use, I started coughing mid-puff and accidentally inhaled QVAR into my nose and sinuses. I experienced a terrible burning in my nose and face (in sinuses). I blew my nose several times to try and lessen the symptoms, then went and got fresh air to breath as much as possible to flush it out. I never used the product again and from that day I have had a reduced sense of smell. My doctor said it was not possible to be related to QVAR use and didn't report to manufacturer. | Whenever I get a bad cold, it frequently ends up with breathing difficulties with symptoms like asthma. Doctor told me to use QVAR 2 x day whenever I started to get a cold and then use an albuterol "rescue" inhaler less frequently. After using QVAR about a week I had a terrible experience with one inhalation when I started to choke/cough and it ended up in my nose. No documentation says this has loss of smell as a side effect so doctor said it was all my imagination and he prescribed me a nasal spray which I didn't use. (How many times do male doctors tell women that? He's no longer my doctor.) | F | 52 | 8 days 80 2X day | 6/28/2015 | 1 | asma | Dizzy, migraine, aching body, and insomnia | M | 25 | 2 weeks | 6/4/2015 | 1 | asthma | My son didn't need this. I told the doctor I didn't believe he had asthma, he would have a little wheezing only when he was very sick. They made me doubt myself and give my son this medicine, telling me that it would help his asthma completely disappear if his lungs got healthy before they are fully developed by the age of 12. I trusted them, now 14 months, two weeks and two days later, I realize he's got something called a Buffalo neck and he's developing a moon face. I thought he looked different but thought it was just a growing stage. My beautiful son, who I believe was never asthmatic because he could swim was active and running etc. with no problems, is now overweight, has sunken eyes, his cheeks are fat and he's got a lump on the back of his neck. Looking at most of the people they didn't use this junk medicine for more than a few months and I stupidly let my son use it for so long. This has caused more damage and I worry about my son's mood swings and his speech is hoarse. It turns out this doesn't even help with wheezing and my son has grown only a half inch in six months. Who can I sue for this stupid medication ruining my son's health? Will this all go away and can I stop this immediately without any additional problems? I'm so upset.This drug does more damage and doctors should know better than to give it out without telling us the side effects. The doctor kept telling me that taking him off is wrong but I should have listened instead to my maternal instincts. | M | 10 | 1 years 40mcg | 5/25/2015 | 1 | Chronic asthma | Weight gain, nausea, itching, bruising, hoarseness, dizziness when standing. | Horrible medication. | F | 28 | 3 weeks | 5/8/2015 | 4 | Chest tightness related to allergys | Strange/metallic taste in my mouth, sore throat, possibly increased my allergic reaction to choclate | Went to my allergist as every time in felt unwell (likely due to allergies related to dust and pollen) my chest got affected. I am to be on this for 3 months during allergy season as there is a weakness in my lung function. | M | 45 | 30 days 2 puffs 2X day | 4/23/2015 | 1 | Asthma | Sever stomach pain | F | 38 | 1 days 80 | 4/21/2015 | 3 | Allergies that caused asthma | My 6 yr old daughter had asthma caused by allergies. We tried antihistamines and they did okay but we were prescribed Qvar 80 and her lung functions improved, as well as her skin rashes. But, she hasn't gained weight or grown in a year so we're going off of the medicine. We are three weeks into a weaning from the drug and she has developed severe hoarseness. She has no other symptoms but the lack of growth and change of voice is very concerning. | F | 7 | 1 years 2x /day | 3/30/2015 | 5 | wheezing after a bad flu | So far none, just helped me a lot to stop the wheezing. | F | 65 | 2 times | 3/17/2015 | 3 | Asthma | my 12 tear old originally used Pulmacort. Dr switched him to Qvar 100. Severe nausea ensued a few days later. Seemed like a stomach flu. Threw up several times. not sure if it was the medication or was it stomach flu? | Qvar did however improve his asthma. | M | 12 | 7 days 100mg 2X day | 3/3/2015 | 2 | copd with persistent cough | Weight gain and the urge to swallow constantly | F | 60 | 4 months 80mg | 3/3/2015 |
