The last 3 dispensers I checked have significant amount of beads left over. I started checking as I seemed not to get relief any longer. I also am getting them from the VA I checked a couple 2 years ago and there was very little left after 60 doses. The 1st two I checked were close to expiration but the last expires Sept. 14th 2014 it is now April 9th 2014. It seems to sound differently when opening also. ## Hello, RonDon! How are you? You are not the first person to mention this. Have you contacted the manufacturer to inform them of the problem? Have you discussed it with your prescribing doctor?

I am 58 years old and have a life long history of asthma & have been using the Asmanex 120 dose twisthaler successfully and gratefully for 4 years without complaint. But last night I discovered, without a doubt, that the inhaler I have been using for the past 6 weeks malfunctioned. Not only was the counter randomly going backward giving me many “additional†doses I also believe it never dispensed any medicine – not hard to miss because the powdered medication is tasteless. My first clue came when I was down to my last 5 inhalations before starting my new inhaler. I took my double night-time dose & just happened to note the counter afterward. Instead of the expected number 3 in the counter window it said 15! On two other occasions ...

The three empty units were full of the powder. I opened a new unit and compared the amount of powder with the supposedly empty units and they were the same indicating nothing was being dispensed.. ## Hi, Tom! Did it help you? That would be the best judge of whether or not any medication is being dispensed, rather than trying to judge the amount visually. There's always going to be some left in the dispenser. Learn more Asmanex details here. However, if you really feel there was a problem, it would be best to contact the manufacturer and you can find more information on doing so via their website, asmanex.com. ## The empty units had exactly the same amount as the new one. About a full tablespoon full. The reason I checked it it never bothered my throat when I didn't wash out my m...

I have been on Azmacort for 17 years along with Serevent disc. I have breathed free for this whole time minus when I had a cold. I have not used my rescue inhaler in years. Since I have been off the Azmacort and trying other meds I have been miserable. I use ny rescue inhaler 6-8 times a day. Asmanex gave me headaches, Pulmicort was terrible and Advair didn't work either. We have a huge deductable so everytime I try another inhaler, it comes out of pocket. I have also tried Singulair and Zyrtec, but I was so tired I couldn't function. I want Azmacort back. My Asthma was under control for all these years and now I am struggling daily. I wil definitely call the company.

220 ## 220 1 inhalation b.i.d. ## That is the instructions for use, which mean 1 inhalation twice a day. So every 12 hours. This is the same medication as Nasonex.
