After taking Symbicort for about 7-8 years, I got severe chest infections, severe foot and ankle tendonitis; severe leg cramps; huge weight gain; feeling of exhaustion whenever I tried to exercise, instead of exhilaration as I used to get; I hate to think of the damage this dangerous drug has done to my bones, organs and arteries.

After taking Symbicort for about 7-8 years, I got severe chest infections, severe foot and ankle tendonitis; severe leg cramps; huge weight gain; feeling of exhaustion whenever I tried to exercise, instead of exhilaration as I used to get; I hate to think of the damage this dangerous drug has done to my bones, organs and arteries. I expect it has severely messed with my lungs and blood absorption. It is better to cough and live with a little asthma and allergies than take drugs. I take no drugs and use all natural health approaches. I hope Symbicort has NOT permanently damaged by body's ability to recover and regenerate naturally.

Very crampy calf muscles, contracting even during the day. Worse at night time, having had several leg cramps in a span of a week, sometimes twice in one night.

I began Symbicort two months ago, and have needed my rescue inhaler maybe a half dozen times within that time. My doctor is pleased with my response to this drug since it helps loosen the secretions and makes breathing easier.

I only have 2 wks of experience to share. The first week, I was pretty much asthma free. The second week, I supplemented with albuterol. The weather was humid the second week, which is a major trigger for my asthma, so I assume that is the problem. I have only been on the medicine for 2 weeks.

I only have 2 wks of experience to share. The first week, I was pretty much asthma free. The second week, I supplemented with albuterol. The weather was humid the second week, which is a major trigger for my asthma, so I assume that is the problem. I have only been on the medicine for 2 weeks. I am trying to investigate the potential serious impacts of formordoral on asthmatics. My Dr mentioned he would be concerned about keeping me on this drug long term because of it. I have to say that even when I felt the need to use albuterol, my symptons were a walk in the park compared to my symptons before Symbicort. It has really changed my life. I would have to really be convinced it could cause death before I would be willing to change.
