Comment from: xclaurab 35-44 Female less than 1 month Patient Published: October 22

This pulmicort flexhaler is the dumbest thing I've ever seen. Cannot for the life of me figure out how to dispense a dose. Now I need to go back to the doctor to figure out how to use it. The last thing I want to be doing when I'm sick. I'm taking it for bronchitis not asthma. Why could't they just use a normal inhaler device?!

WARNING! I'm 64 with severe osteoporosis lumbar 3 and 4 and both hips due to the excessive dose of pulmicort. One asthma doctor warned me to get off about 4 years ago but damage is irreversible.

I've been using Pulmicort and now the Pulmicort Flexhaler for 20yrs to regulate my asthma. I've been stabile and able to go off it seasonally. Using 1 puff daily most of the year. Can't remember the last time I needed my rescue inhaler. No osteoporosis noted which I knew was a side affect and made sure to eat a well balanced diet with calcium rich foods.

I have (COPD) started Pulmicort inhaler July 17, 2012. Took about 10 days and it was just amazing, my chronic cough toally stopped. Exactly 3 months later Nov. 1st I noticed I was losing my sense of taste. By Dec. 1st (one month later) I developed the worst bitter taste in my mouth . I stopped the Pulmicort. now, almost 1 month later, my cough is coming back and my loss of taste plus the horrible bitter taste is still there. can't swallow food with this terrible taste and losing weight. in this case, the cure is worse than the disease.
