    I had been using this med for 25 years (back when it was called Aerobid). It worked great for controlling my asthma and I did not have any side effects (yes it tasted bad but I just rinsed mouth after taking it). Unfortunately it is no longer being manufactured. I don't know if any of the other meds are going to work for me-have tried a few with no luck so far.

    Had to quit Advair because with another drug I am taking there was a danger to heart rhythms. Glad to be off Advair because of all the death warnings that always came with my renewing the prescription. Aerospan tastes awful and seems to be responsible for a low-grade headache and fatigue that came on after I started with this med a couple weeks ago. Could be that my body will get used to it.
