Has anybody used or had any experience with the new mometasone inhaler (Asmanex)?
It comes in an auto-haler similar to Pulmicort but it has a counter which is a nice improvement over Pulmicort.

Never seen it.
I did not know that it was on the market as of yet. It actually may be an improvement over pulmicort because of the inhaler.
The company is also trying to combine it with foradil to create a drug to directly compete with advair.
I am in wholeheardted agreement with Jeffh.
They have the Formoterol/Budesonide combo in Canada so they may eventually get it here.
There is a trial in the Journal of Allery and Clin Immunol from a couple years ago and it seems to be comparable to budesonide or fluticasone (Fish et al J Allergy Clin Immunol. 2000 Nov;106(5):852-60)
