User Reviews for Dulera inhalation

Once I was diagnosed with asthma I was put on Advair. My breathing was improved, but I still had asthma symptoms and I still experienced asthma attacks. After many issues getting refills I changed doctors until one recommended Dulera. It was like magic medicine. I didn't need my rescue inhaler anymore. Fast forward almost 15 years and a new pulmonologist rx me Breztri. Saying to me Advair and Dulera are the same and Breztri is stronger: I was already skeptical, since I already knew Dulera was way better than Advair. After less than one week I began to be sick and cough more and more, yet unable to produce anything. I began feeling even more sick. I switched back to Dulera and the next day I felt 100% better. Don't always believe what your doctor tells you. Dulera is great and it's always been better than any other asthma medication FOR ME. It is my experience. With 15 years having asthma.

I have COPD I was using Symbicort and was very happy with it. But can not afford it now. The Doctor change to Dulera. I get dizzy, headaches, tinnitus and fatigue which started about 3 weeks after I started taking it. I wasn't sure what was causing all these symptoms until I read through everyone's comments. I was wandering if anyone else was suffering with tinnitus? I just had a CT scan. If anyone has ringing in their ears after starting this I would like to know. That way I can let my pulmonary specialist change this prescription.Read More Read Less

I am older male and work out heavy with healthy lifestyle. Asthmatic and control was not working and became unable to do anything. Dr. tried some new med and did not help and even Steroids etc were not helping after injection and pill form. Dr. then gave me Dulera to try and it is a miracle. Saved my life and lifestyle. Back to running and heavy weight room work and feeling the best ever. No side effects and cannot even tell I take any thing upon inhale use. I am not even taking the most extreme dose either..Read More Read Less

Was prescribed post Covid as I have a very nagging cough.

Was diagnosed with Asthma/COPD Overlap Syndrome a year and a half ago. Have tried many inhalers, with not so good side effects. Dulera is by far the best for me.

I have used this for 4 years and had no trouble until the last 3 mo. I notest when I got to about 50 on my count it didn't do any good like it was empty. I like this it dose help me a lot but not if I am not getting a full tub. Is anyone els having this problum.I gave this a good rating becouse it did work.I use Dulera

I have always had exercise induced shortness of breath from the time I was a teen but was also a moderate smoker. About age 48 started having chronic sinus infections - so bad I couldnâ??t breathe through my left nostril for over a year - then things got really smelly and I could actually smell rot in ny head - went to an ear nose and throat dr -I also was experiencing extreme shortness of breath both at night and during the day with just walking- actually had surgery twice to clean out the infection and the second dr said I had asthma that had been undiagnosed probably due to smoking and he recommended I get a pulmonary function test due to very shallow breathing during surgery and prescribed Dulera. My PFT showed less than 30% lung function- very scary - I had quit smoking about a year prior - the dulera has been amazing for me - I have been taking it for about 3.6 years- I did have trouble about 6 months ago with quite severe muscle cramps in legs, feet and shins - however I started taking magnesium and calcium supplements and they have gone away - I am so grateful for the results and would recommend that those who experience moderate side effects be sure itâ??s not related to other factors. I also take Spiriva and Montelukast(singular) - I am ecstatic with the results over the long term I couldnâ??t ask for more - always be sure to gargle- I have not had to use my rescue inhaler unless I plan on exercising more than usual - then I use Albuterol right before exercise - I have had some trouble with hoarseness and raspy voice but believe most inhalers will have some effect that way - Everyone is different but this course of treatment has worked for me and I am so grateful Read More Read Less

I've had constant coughing for the past 3 years. Finally diagnosed with a reactive airway-asthma. I started on Albuterol and Qvar. Qvar did not help the cough at all. Dr. switched me over to Dulera and within 9 days my cough had pretty much gone away. The only side effect I have is charley horses daily in my feet, legs and torso. But I feel those side effects are better than having the constant coughing I had.

I've been using for 6 years and have no side affects or problems with Dulera. Pleased. I am 70 years old.

At first it worked great, no more sinus drip, breathing seemed better almost immediate. then after a month or so of use I just started feeling unwell, been going thru blood tests, etc. I feel very tired, weak and shaky all the time and was getting worse. Have stopped taking the dulera 5 days ago hoping this was the cause of all these extra symtoms!

I was very sick 2015 with weak immune system. My lung capacity was 37% and I used the machine every 2-4 hrs. I had always been athletic but could not even walk to car. Have used Dulera 4 months. Nothing else worked. My quality of life has improved. Back to gym. Sleep all night. Rescue inhaler and other asthma med reduced. Saved my life. Looking forward to a month of travel.

Only went on this med. when insurance ceased covering Symbicort due to cost. Seemed effective for 1st. months then I began to experience side effects including: dry throat, lump in back of throat, severe leg cramps, severe congestion in nasal passages requiring daily use of decongestants, costant feeling of being cold and most recently an odd sensation in my mouth as if there is a coating that affects the taste of all foods. Heated food's taste is most affected almost to the point of making me nauseated. This has caused me to lose weight. I can only attribute these side effects to Dulera as I have not changed any of my other medications. It is possible I have developed thrush but won't know for sure until I see the doctor. I don't know if I would have these same side effects if I had been able to continue using Symbicort for a longer period than I did but I could not afford the cost without help from insurance coverage.

I switched to Dulera from Asmanex because my doctor thought it would improve my lung function. The first couple of weeks I just noticed a little hoarseness, but at around a month I started having all kinds of side effects: strange headaches, tiredness, bad anxiety (which I don't normally have) and my period came every three weeks. I am not sure how well Dulera worked for me, because I couldn't stand the side effects. I stopped taking it, and within the week the anxiety disappeared, within a couple of weeks the headaches went away and after about three months my period returned to normal. Not a good experience overall. Read More Read Less

My lung capacity was 36%. After 2 days using this product, breathing greatly improved. Sleep all night without Proair. Blood oxygen level 90's while exercising.

I see a lot of comments about the dry mouth/thrush. Try using with a spacer. Has helped me tremendously with both of those. Love this compared to some of the others I've used.

I used Dulera for a month, at first I thought it was helping then the more I used it day after day it felt like my lungs were getting worse. I stopped Dulera a couple days ago and I'm waiting to see if my lungs improve.

Took this medicine for almost two weeks.... I had the worest chest pain.... never taking it again... it did nothing for me...

This medication has been very effective. Since starting Dulera, I am able to breath normally. Previously, my chest was always tight and felt like I could not get enough air. My only concern is the exhorbitant cost of this medication.

This medication has been very helpful for me, however, I don't like how it leaves the back of my throat feeling the sensation of hard to swallow. I would recommend this medication to anyone That needs help breathing.

I've had asthma for about 12 years. I've been on many different inhalers and meds. Lots of trips to the doctor, a few hospital visits, and lots of frustration. Been using Dulera for almost 2 years now and am loving it. I've also been able to stop using one of my other inhalers. I'm feeling good and have decreased need for my rescue meds. I've only had needed one extra trip to the doctor this year :)
