Effectiveness
How Asmanex Twisthaler Affects PatientsMometasone is a type of synthetic steroid. It has a stronger effect on the body's glucocorticoid receptors than other similar drugs, and it is more selective in its action on the body's mineralocorticoid receptors. Once it is taken, mometasone furoate moves through the cells and activates pathways that decrease inflammation.
How Asmanex Twisthaler works in the bodyMometasone helps to reduce asthma symptoms by limiting the activity of mast cells, eosinophils, basophils, and lymphocytes. It also works to reduce the effects of histamine, leukotrienes, and cytokines. This is done by the drug binding to a glucocorticoid receptor in the cell. This binding causes the receptor to move to the nucleus of the cell, where it then dimerizes and binds to a DNA sequence called the glucocorticoid response element. The glucocorticoid response element helps to reduce inflammation by blocking certain transcription factors.

Asmanex Twisthaler Toxicity & Overdose RiskTaking too much of a mometasone furoate inhaler can cause excessive amounts of cortisol and adrenal gland suppression. Animal studies have shown that taking a high enough dose of the drug may cause fetal harm, so pregnant patients should carefully weigh the risks and benefits. The drug may be present in breast milk, so caution should be used when administering to nursing mothers. Kids may experience slower growth and should take the lowest effective dose for the inhaler. Elderly patients may be more sensitive to the drug, and those with moderate to severe liver problems should be cautious when taking the medication. It's unknown how the drug affects renal impairment

Asmanex Twisthaler Reviews: What are patients saying about Asmanex Twisthaler?
5Patient Review
4/26/2014 Overall, this treatment was effective in reducing my asthma symptoms and I didn't have to use my emergency inhaler as much. However, there were some side effects that came along with it for me, including insomnia, joint pain, and irritability. Cannabis is a better option for me since it doesn't have the same side effects.
5Patient Review
5/29/2015 I found that the medication didn't always work by itself, so I started to research other methods. I heard that certain vegetables could help if eaten regularly, so I started drinking smoothies with veggies 2-3 times a week. This method almost completely stopped my attacks.
5Patient Review
11/13/2018 I refused to take this medication 2 years ago because I don't suffer from asthma and I exercise 4 times a week. But pneumologist insists I could be breathing better based on my test results. After less than 1 week of taking this poison, I started feeling chest tightness, overall weakness, nausea and insomnia. So I took this so-called medecine and threw in the trash. Thanks for everything doc.
5Patient Review
1/29/2021 I've had asthma since I was a kid, and nothing has ever worked to control it— until now. After a month of taking Asmanex, my asthma is gone. It's worth it to have to take the medication every day in order to get some relief.
4.3Patient Review
12/6/2014 The container was completely used, with no product left inside. This is a very poor dispensing method.
4.3Patient Review
2/27/2022 There have been several occasions where the dose marker on my inhaler was off, making it difficult to tell if I was actually receiving any medication. I'm currently looking for a way to document and report this issue.
3.7Patient Review
10/14/2014 I developed a severe itch on my scalp and ears while taking this medication. The itching and rash on my legs and feet worsened even after I stopped taking it. I didn't experience any relief until I took a steroid dose pak.
3.3Patient Review
4/22/2014 I was on this medication for a while and it gave me some serious heartburn. I also started to become really paranoid, which is not like me at all. Additionally, I noticed that my short-term memory was getting worse and worse. Once I stopped taking the asmanex, though, my short-term memory came back within just a couple of weeks.
3.3Patient Review
2/8/2022 I had a lot of trouble breathing at night last year to the point where I would wake up gasping for air. My doctor prescribed an emergency inhaler, but it didn't do anything. eventually, they put me on Twisthaler. It was confusing to use at first, but it worked. However, my nasal passageway still gets restricted from the same allergy that affects my lungs, so I have to use a nasal spray in addition to the Twisthaler or I'll still have trouble breathing at night.
3.3Patient Review
12/19/20133.3Patient Review
11/27/2015 I was really struggling with my breathing, trying other inhalers without any success. But as soon as I started using Asmanex, I felt a difference within five days.
3Patient Review
2/17/2017 My son's asthma improved after using this medication for three months; however, he started to experience anxiety and other emotional problems. We had to stop the treatment because of these side effects.
2.7Patient Review
2/15/2014 I found that my lungs functioned better while on the medication, but I also started getting nauseous multiple times a day. I haven't taken it regularly because of this side effect, and whenever I do start taking it again, the nausea returns quickly.
2Patient Review
10/10/2018 I experienced some weird and vivid dreams while on this medication, as well as joint pain in my hands and lower back pain. I was also irritable.
1.7Patient Review
10/27/2014 I'm very suspicious of the doctor who switched me from Advair. I don't feel comfortable taking a medication that has such potential dangers, according to the informational insert.
1.3Patient Review
7/23/2014 I used asmanex and Spiriva for two months to help with my chronic coughing and wheezing. However, I ended up being hospitalized due to a sinus infection and uncontrolled coughing.
1Patient Review
10/15/2014 Even after getting used to the new inhalation steps, I didn't see as much improvement as I did with other drugs. The price is still outrageous, but it has been effective in reducing the frequency and severity of my asthma attacks.
1Patient Review
3/7/2020 I've been taking this for years and it's the only one that works for me. I tried switching to Singulair a few years ago because of insurance/price, but I got pneumonia within a couple weeks and had to switch back immediately.
