Effectiveness
How Aerobid Affects PatientsFlunisolide is a man-made hormone that helps to reduce inflammation and suppress immune responses. It is available as an oral inhaler for asthma or as nasal spray for allergies, and can help reduce common allergy symptoms like sneezing, runny nose, congestion, and throat itching.
How Aerobid works in the bodyFlunisolide is a medication that helps reduce inflammation. It does this by blocking the production of certain molecules that cause inflammation. It also suppresses the immune system, reducing the amount of antibodies and immune cells in the body. Flunisolide works by attaching to a protein in the body called transcortin, which then activates the medication.

Aerobid Reviews: What are patients saying about Aerobid?
5Patient Review
10/22/2010 I've been using this medication for 15 years and it's always given me the best results. I've tried switching to other, more recent drugs but they never work as well as this one does.

7/21/2010 This medication has really helped me out by allowing me to do things I couldn't before. The only downside is that my pharmacy has trouble getting it in stock.
4.3Patient Review
5/4/2009 I was using Intal and Aerobid, but my doctor switched me to Advair in 2003. I finally convinced them to switch me back last September, and I haven't had pneumonia since. The taste can be bad, but using a chamber with the Aerobid helps mitigate that
1.7Patient Review
2/4/2009 The taste of this medication is beyond words, and unfortunately it has not done much to help with my coughing at night. I will continue using it as prescribed, but it's honestly a struggle because of how terrible it tastes.
