My 13 yr old son uses Rhinocort and Flovent, as well as Accolate and Allegra for his asthma and he has taken these drugs for years. He recently has begun experiencing muscle stiffness, primarily in his legs.
I want to know if someone out there has had similar experience using any of these drugs. I'd like to be able to identify the culprit and change to different med. Thanks!
the muscle stiffness could be brought on by something else entirely -- a heart problem, perhaps?
If he's used these drugs for years without harm then it's likely they're not the culprit. You might, to be on the safe side, want to have his asthma checked out, however; muscle cramps can be caused by a lack of oxygen to muscles. If his breathing is off, his muscles may feel it and cramp. this could be a sign it's getting worse.
asthma drugs side effect?
