    I was in it for 3 years and stopped it 3 months ago. I was on max dose 600mg, 4 injections every 2 weeks. I didn't see a change in asthma symptoms and the senior asthma nurse actually agreed with me. My Ige was 2000 & 1845 however since stopping it I'm having a massive flare up of eczema which it must have helped and I'd never thought of. Asthma is no different, uncontrolled taking 7 puffs Ventolin daily, been on everything.

      I'm not on it now but was for 3 years but no improvement with asthma symptoms despite high dose . No obvious side effects but they don't know them long term. I was just sad I didn't get positive results that you read others very from it. I believe my asthma is a combination of allergy related, stress and emotional factors exacerbate it as well as weight issues. I've yet to find an inhaler that controls my wheeze. I've tried all combination types as well as them individually, just tried theophylline which I reacted to with eczema. It's worth trying if you get the chance as it may work for you x
