Hi Jilly, My main side effects are slight nausea and racing heart. But I find it works and I get a lot of relief from my asthma symptoms. My son has taken it for about 3 years now I think and has no side effects. It also helps him a lot.

Good luck with it, I hope it helps you.

Hi Jilly, couldn't cope without it, it really works well for me, I found at the beginning I suffered with nausea and low blood pressure, I used to dread taking it but after a while it does get better, and so does the breathing. Good luck and hope it works well for you.

Hi jilly,

I hope it works for you and your problem free. I couldn't take it, it made me very sick and i got really bad stomach pains.I only took it for about 5 days.

I was on this medication for a while in my 30's and again now in my 40's and I do get some side effects (disturbs my sleep, racing heart sometimes) but it makes such a difference to my breathing that I feel it is worth being on it.
