Comment:
I am looking for directions again. I'm not absolutely positive I'm using it correctly. Lost directions and those given at the office differed from what was written on patient directions.

I am attempting to lose weight. I have changed my diet and walk 2 miles 4 days a week. I have not lost any weight and have attributed it to the use of the inhaler.

Comment:
I am 60 yrs old, on Pulmicort since 1997, and WARNING! I just had my first DEXA scan (bone loss) and horrid results. Hips fine but lumber (affected area for Pulmicort) is severe loss. Technician states due to Pulmicort which does cause bone loss! Cannot reverse unless I take the added risk of more drugs. Am getting off ASAP. Please check the web for Pulmicort side effects! It's there!

Within 1 hour of taking the drug my throat felt odd, I vomited my dinner, got the chills, tightening in my chest and feel shaky and nauseous. I have a terrible taste in my mouth.
