Albutrix made me feel more ill every day I took it. At 17 days I really felt like I was dying, so I quit it and improved after a couple of day. About 5 days later I tried it again at two tablets a day, two days in a row, and again became very ill. About a week after that I learned that while taking Albutrix

Hi! I tested positive for Covid 2 weeks ago… it’s caused an asthma flare but luckily I got prescribed steroids for a week which, along with my Fostair and Ventolin inhalers, kept things stable enough for me to stay home.
