Has anyone had success with Zafirlukast 20mg for managing chronic asthma symptoms?
I've been prescribed Zafirlukast 20mg Tablets to manage my chronic asthma symptoms and prevent attacks. It works by blocking leukotrienes, which cause inflammation and narrowing of the airways. I'm curious to know if anyone else has had success with this medication, or if there are any tips for managing side effects like headache or stomach pain.
I had a pretty bad reaction to Zafirlukast. Felt like my throat was closing up and had to go to the ER. Not worth the risk for me.
I've been on Zafirlukast for a few months now and it's made a big difference. No more sudden asthma attacks, but I did have some trouble sleeping at first. It got better after a few weeks.
I switched to Zafirlukast after my doctor said my current meds weren't working well. It was great for a while, but then I started feeling really depressed. Had to stop taking it.
Be careful with this stuff. I had some pretty bad stomach issues and my doctor had to switch me to something else. Not sure if it was worth it.
If you're thinking of trying Zafirlukast, make sure to talk to your doctor about any other medications you're taking. I had some interactions that weren't fun.
My doctor warned me about the potential side effects, but I haven't experienced any so far. Just a little headache sometimes, but it's manageable.
I've noticed that Zafirlukast makes my sinus problems worse. Anyone else have this issue?
