For Asthma, Maintenance "Medicaid switched from Advair to Wixela. It made my asthma worse! I have to use my emergency inhaler, Albuterol, instead and a nebulizer. Wixela is going in the garbage!"

For Asthma, Maintenance "On this for COPD, side effects are hoarseness, chronic, ever since I started to use it. VA stopped my Symbicort and gave me this. Very, very bad. Am now back on Symbicort."

For Asthma, Maintenance "My 6-year-old daughter gained a massive amount of weight on Wixela in a very short amount of time. Now that I've read the long list of serious side effects and all the negative reviews, I'm livid."

For Asthma, Maintenance "I've seen a marked improvement by switching from Symbicort to Wixela. Prior to the change, I was using my Proair at least once a day. No need for Proair now. The VA made the switch, and I approve."

For Asthma, Maintenance "I was on Symbicort and doing great. VA switched me to Wixela, and all my endurance is gone. I hope that this was not just a cost-saving switch by the VA. I am going to request to go back on Symbicort."
