My daughter takes asmanex every time she gets a cold. She uses it for about a week and the hacking cough stops. She gets illness induced asthma and this has been the only thing that has helped. It knocks the cough right out. I have not noticed any side effects with this medication but she only takes it for about a week at a time.

Was prescribed this after Qvar failed to keep my symptoms away. Took a few days to get used to the dry powder inhalation. I gargle and brush after every use and have had no issues. It has kept my asthma symptoms pretty controlled except when I'm sick or my allergy triggers it. In fact I have not had to go on oral steroids since I started this in October 2012 which is a huge improvement for me. ... Show Full Comment

This drug does not correct the basic symptom, i.e. breathing difficulty. It reduces it. A side effect however is that it produces a growth of heavy hair on my chin. The hair is not like normal facial hair -fine and fuzzy, it is thick and stubborn. I am having it removed but this is a common effect that should be made known.

constant sinus and or bronchial infections/problems. the doctor must get a pretty good kickback because he is adamant that i continue to use it. guess it's time for a new doctor.

Longtime Pulmacort user. Insurance pushed Asthma doctor to change. Transition was difficult. Insomnia and nausea over, but very intense dreams. Concentration on work and activities is different. Asmanex is doing a great job with my breathing, just not as active. Hoping the activity level comes back.
