I did notice an improvement in lung function while I was on it, but I also started getting terrible bouts of nausea, several times a day (definitely not pregnate). I haven't taken the medication regularly, but within a couple days of starting the medication again I get terribly nauseous (sp?). My biggest complaints with this drugs is nausea and slight insomnia.

Comment:
This drug has worked to semi-control my asthma symptoms but I am unsure it is worth the cost and side effects. I was able to finally get the drug free through a Prescription Assistance Program, as I do not have prescription insurance coverage.
