asthma, maintenance
"Was using Pulmicort for years for asthma maintenance; I found it made a difference but would stop working for periods of time.  I asked my physician to switch me to something else and she put me on this.  A marked difference.  This has a steroid as well as a stimulant (to open your lungs upon inhalation, much like a rescue inhaler, which Pulmicort did not have).  I forgot to refill my Advair this month (I mail order three months at a time with my insurance, WAY cheaper) and have been without for about 4 days.  I can definitely tell the difference.  My rescue inhaler use has gone up, and subsequently goes way down (to almost nonexistent) when I'm on Advair.  Highly recommended."
