Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Yes, you are right.
Asmanex twisthaler can cause similar kind of leg symptoms as side effect.
So better to change this drug and start another inhaler with lesser side effect.
Don't worry, you will be alright once you stop this inhaler.
Don't feel depressed. It is temporary side effects.
This will definitely go away once you stop this twisthaler.
Be positive and stay healthy.
