I've just been prescribed Asmanex 220mcg Twisthaler (30) for my asthma. I'm a bit nervous about starting a new medication, especially one that's a controller. Can anyone share their experiences with this inhaler? I've read about the serious side effects, but I'm not sure how common they are or what the daily experience is like. Does anyone use this regularly and if so, can you share your daily routine with the Twisthaler? Any tips for keeping track of doses and when to replace the inhaler would be really helpful too. I've also heard that it's not meant to be used for sudden attacks. How do you manage those situations while on Asmanex? If you've had a bad reaction, what do you wish you had done differently? Thanks!
