RATING | REASON | SIDE EFFECTS FOR DULERA | COMMENTS | SEX | AGE | DURATION/ DOSAGE | DATE ADDED |
4 | Asthma | Worked great for my asthma but I gained 35 pounds and can not take it off. | M | 29 | 2 months 2X day | 3/5/2015 | 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 100mg 2X day | 2/10/2015 | 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 30 mg | 12/22/2014 | 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 | 10/19/2013 | 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 200 1X day | 9/7/2013 | 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 200mcg | 5/3/2013 | 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 2X day | 3/4/2013 | 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 | 11/15/2012 | 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 200/5 | 11/13/2012 |
