Anyone else on Alvesco HFA 80mcg Oral Inh (60 Inh)? What are your experiences with this asthma medication?
I've been prescribed Alvesco HFA 80mcg Oral Inh (60 Inh) for my asthma. It's an inhaled corticosteroid that helps manage inflammation in the lungs. The doctor emphasized that it's not a rescue inhaler and should be used regularly, even when I feel fine. However, I've noticed some side effects like a stuffed nose and occasional headaches. Has anyone else experienced similar issues? I'm curious to hear about other people's experiences and any tips for managing side effects. I've also been a bit worried about the more serious side effects and want to hear more about them if anyone has insights. How do you handle the routine with Alvesco and what are the pros and cons you've found with it?
Be cautious with this medication. I had a friend who experienced a severe allergic reaction. They ended up in the ER, so keep that in mind and be careful. If you notice any signs of an allergic reaction, seek help immediately.
I feel like Alvesco has been a bit of a mixed bag for me. It definitely helps with my asthma, but I've had some trouble with bone pain. I talked to my doctor, and we're keeping an eye on it. They suggested some exercises and supplements that might help. It's been a bit frustrating, but I'm glad I have someone to monitor the situation.
I agree with the previous comment about the crushed nose. I've dealt with it too, but it wasn't enough to stop using the inhaler. I just deal with it, but it is annoying. I've also seen a lot of people mention a stuffy nose with this med, so let me know if you find a good solution for it.
Haha, it sounds like you're asking the wrong question. Your diet is always the problem! We need to eat better and exercise more... and hope our meds don’t screw with how we metabolize food. My Alvesco experience has been fine though, no weight issues here.
