Side Effects for Pulmicort flexhaler (budesonide)

PULMICORT FLEXHALER (BUDESONIDE): Budesonide is used to control and prevent symptoms (wheezing and shortness of breath) caused by asthma. This medication belongs to a class of drugs known as corticosteroids. It works directly in the lungs to make breathing easier by reducing the irritation and swelling of the airways. This medication must be used regularly to be effective. It does not work right away and should not be used to relieve sudden asthma attacks. If an asthma attack occurs, use your quick-relief inhaler as prescribed. (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

I still cannot say this drug works on raising my HDL levels because I have not had my blood work done yet. I gave it a 2 but will update later after my labs.

Ive been dealing with hormonal imbalance issues since Ive went through puberty. Finally at age 15, I was put on Desogen to straighten out my problems. Cleared up my acne, helped me shed a few pounds, made my hair feel thick and lush. My only complaint that I can really recall is that it caused heavy periods. I was on it for 4yrs then decided to try Depo-Provera (the shot, worst mistake in my life) and had major problems since then. Ive been on a lot of BC's, and so far Desogen and Yaz and have worked the best for me. Agreeing with another reviewer, everyone's body is different and will respond differently to different BC's, so its all a matter of trial and error with it til you find the one that works best for you.

depression, anxiety & mild ADD

Stomach pain, kidney pain, liver pain, extreme exhaustion, depression, flu like symptoms, dizziness and brain fog - NO LIBIDO!

Minor chills. Feeling full/bloated.

I have had two bone scans....over two years but have not had one since on Actonel. I tried fosomax first, but irritated my stomach too much to continue. I have been on actonel for only a month, so do not know if it is helping build bone. I also take calcium, Vitamin D, work out 3 x a week, and walk.

I first had muscle aches like the flu...thought I was indeed getting the flu. On day 3 experienced extreme headache similar to what a migraine must feel like (even though I have never had one), anxiety, ringing in ears, confusion, feeling of doom, and severe fatigue. I had taken Levaquin earlier and experienced many of the same symptoms so I immediately went off the Bactrim. It is day four without Bactrim...still have anxiety, headache, foggy head and fatigue. Aspirin seems to help some with headache.

Extreme Nausea, Vomiting, Fatigue, Depression, Diarrhea, Unable to sleep due to symptoms

I talked to my Doctor about taking Mirapex after reading up on the pro's and con's of the drug. I wanted to get off soma and ANSID's that don't agree well with me. I am on a low dose right now. Since the first day I started the drug I have a very hard time falling and staying alseep. my eyelids twitch and wake up with an upset stomace.I haven't had wieght gain this far. I hope it stays that way. My PCP recommeded Lyrica and I didn't want to go on it for that reason. I do how ever believe I am getting a bladder infection. and do have a racing heart through out the day. I have been sweating. For the most part I rather be on this then other alternitives ask me in a month to see if i still feel this way. I don't want to increase the drug anymore, but I rather not be in pain. i am currently in school for medical assisting and I do also find it hard to get my words out since i began this drug, it's not bad enough to upset my GPA to much this far. But... i will let you know if i find it do

Forgot the horrible side effects when I took it once before as Claratin. This product did NOT help my allergies - it just put me into basically a coma. I could not even get up to go to work. The generic name is Loratadine-stay away from it--took Claritin 1st time and Loratadine 2nd time (year apart)- same results same junk. Drixoral was a life saver for my allergies-but long discontinued. Done a lot of research - they say Dimetapp for kids is a substitute.
