The most common adverse effects include hoarseness of voice, sore throat, fungal infection of the mouth, respiratory tract infection, headache, and muscle cramps. If you develop these symptoms, do not discontinue your medication; instead, consult your doctor.

There are other, less common, but potentially significant adverse effects. If you have any concerns, speak with your doctor. In general, you should strive to avoid situations that aggravate your asthma (triggers) and avoid smoking.
