DULERA  (FORMOTEROL FUMARATE; MOMETASONE FUROATE):  This product is used to control and prevent symptoms (wheezing and shortness of breath) caused by asthma. It contains 2 medications: mometasone and formoterol. Mometasone belongs to a class of drugs known as corticosteroids. It works by reducing the irritation and swelling of the airways. Formoterol belongs to the class of drugs known as long-acting beta agonists. It works by opening airways in the lungs to make breathing easier. Controlling symptoms of breathing problems can decrease time lost from work or school. When used alone, long-acting beta agonists (such as formoterol) may rarely increase the risk of serious (sometimes fatal) asthma-related breathing problems. However, combination inhaled corticosteroid and long-acting beta agonists, such as this product, do not increase the risk of serious asthma-related breathing problems. This product should be used when breathing problems are not well controlled with one asthma-control medication (such as inhaled corticosteroid) or if your symptoms need combination treatment. Before using this medication, it is important to learn how to use it properly. This medication must be used regularly to be effective. It does not work right away and should not be used to relieve sudden asthma attacks. If an asthma attack occurs, use your quick-relief inhaler (such as albuterol, also called salbutamol in some countries) as prescribed.   FDA Approval Date: 2010-06-22 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

 3   I gained about 20 pounds even though I work out three times a week and maintained the same diet. I have started to work out five times a week and increased the intensity of my workout 6 weeks ago and have gained another 5 pounds. Works well, I notice a difference in my normal breathing within two hours after taking. Does not have much of an effect on reducing asthma attacks during physical exertion. M 36 120 days

 2  Control asthma Hoarse voice, thick mucus It actually opened my airway but I could never talk through the copious amounts of phlem. My Medicare supplement cut me off and I had chest pains and now a cough. The inhaler would have cost over $400 without insurance. F 69 1 years

 3  asthma It works but side effects really sucks. Im tired all the time, started to get headaches everyday. My main side effect that I really hated was gaining weight. My appetite has been the same but I gained 50+ pounds ever since I've been on it. I started to work out and became very depressed when I found out I didnt even lose a pound (I been working out for 3wks). I actually just maintained the same weight when I started. I recommend Dulera but if you have issues with your weight (like myself) then DO NOT TAKE IT. Im switching back to Advair. F 30 7 months

 4  Sensitivity to other asthma steroid Heavy hair loss, bloating, weight gain, numbness in limbs, atypical headache (felt deep in my brain), interfered with normal menstrual cycle, veins became highly visible and bulging. Withdrawl from Dulera was very painful. Yes, this medication works. But if it works for me using just 1 puff a day, clearly I don't need to be on it. The side effects are highly problematic and create much discomfort, more than any other inhaled corticorsteroid. Withdrawl needs to be monitored or done very slowly because it is very painful. It causes slightly less of the same side effects than Prednisone or Singulair. F 47 30 days

 4  Asthma Nothing unusual. I take it once a day at bedtime. It is much better for me than Advair, which makes my voice hoarse. F 70 1 years

 1   Omg...I can't take this at all as I my breathing gets worse after taking it. Loss of appitiete as well and strange twitching feeling under my right rib also have no energy at all. Going back to Advair!! F 51 2 days

 4  Asthma Possible thresh starting (yeast infection in the roof of my mouth) if I don't rinse my mouth. As long as I gargle with water with a slight bit of vinegar in it I'm fine. When I first started taking it I'd get slightly shaky or dizzy for a few moments after taking it. My asthma was out of control because my apartment was exposed to cat dander. My other asthma medications (Flovent) were not helping at all, Dulera is a lot more effective for me. Now I'm taking a combination of it plus Zyrtec -D and that really helps. F 28 30 days
200 4X day

 3  asthma First time taking it I felt much relief of my chest tightening symptoms. Once it wore off my chest felt weaker, sore and it hurt to cough. Scared of the warnings and debating on taking it again or not. F 28 1 days
