Has anyone used Breo Ellipta the new inhaler for COPD?

I used it for 3 weeks and ended up with sharp and pointed type of clusters of bumps on the corner of my mouth. Also, sores developed inside my nostrils. Therefore, I found out I was allergic to the steroids within the Breo inhaler. The doctor gave me an inhaler called Trudorza Pressair with no steroids. It has open my airways. And no more itching, sores, nor bumps.

I used breo for about six months got vicious heartburn i mean bad switched to anoro got the heartburn immediately which interfered with my breathing ended up in er plus day inpatient now trying advair do far do good

I use Breo 100, used it for a month now. It is wonderful I can breathe ... I was put on Breo 200 but it was to strong... Caused lots of side effects... The 100 has worked great I have COPD, asthma, and allergic to dust. Ask your doctor about a coupon ... There are some out there...

I love the Breo and have really had a great result with it and the once a day dosing is fantastic for me. Now my insurance of course denied it and decided they didn't want to pay for it so I had to try a couple of other ones and they just didn't work as well so my Pulm gave me sample Breo until he could get my insurance to cover the Breo !! I'm so glad because it's made a difference.

I have been on it for Less Than 3 weeks and I do not use it everyday because it makes my heart hurt as in a way caffeine does me from drinking coffee. I am going to stop using it and go back to pulmicort inhaler

I was on Advair for years when my insurance would no longer cover it. Had to go on Flovent for awhile with disastrous results. Pulmonologist gave me a sample of BREO and I was sold!! Immediate free breathing. Nagging cough disappeared within days. I could sleep again and could also walk and go up/down the stairs without needing my rescue inhaler. But, BREO was not covered either and had to try Symbicort. It was a immediate failure. Asked the insurance company for permission to cover it and was finally approved. Back on BREO again and I am experiencing immediate and remarkable results. Best asthma medication ever. Love it and love having my life back!

Hello - I was recently diagnosed with adult onset asthma. I am 62. Have been on Brel ellipta now since mid July. Most of the time I feel great - other times - if I don't get enough sleep, i feel terrible. I am now getting eye herpes and have herpes on my lips and under my nose. Working out in my pool seems to really help me as does a long brisk walk every other day. Tums also seems to calm down my GERD which I think is helping to causing my asthma. I am also allergic to my cat. I can't live with eye herpes p, so,don't know what else to do at this point except tell my dr. And see what he says.

Hi again,
I had told you I would update info as I am watching for signs of problems. Well, Mom has broken out in a dry white flakes on red rash underneath and it has spread from cheeks to eye lids and below her chin. Mom will be seeing a doc next week and I am taking her off the BREO and SEABRI until after the appointment at least. Jackie

My mom has just started Breo in placement of her Advair and SeaBri in placement of her Spiriva. I am keeping a close eye on how it helps her and could let you know if there is anything odd if you wish. My mom now lives with me because she cannot be alone anymore. She has short and long term memory loss because of her 24/7 oxygen and severe COPD and lung cancer. I have been learning as much as I can about the disease and have been doing my best in keeping her alive. Jackie

I've used a lot of maintenance inhalers over 40 + years last one was Flovent and found I had to use my rescue inhaler 4-5 times a day. My doctor gave me samples Breo it worked great only needed rescue inhaler once if at all. Unfortunately my insurance won't cover IM SO MAD !! My insurance gave me a list of 4 other inhalers I had to try first. Before they would allow Breo. Can't tell U how mad I am thst insurance co can dictate if people can have healthy lives.

Yeas was on spiriva and symbicort Have used aboro ellipta for 1 week and have throwed the other two away what a great new drug can breathe much better. And no coughing now

I have been on Breo for over about months. I was on Symbicort then on Dulera. I found Symbicort lacking but Delera seemed to work well. That being said Breo is even better .. I am breathing much better, able to get around more and noticed that my O2 level is consistently higher.
I am also taking Spiriva and Albuterol

Please let us know about the breo. very interested my new lung dr just gave me a script for it. it will be replacing my symbicort. have not filled it yet. breo mfg has a coupon for one month free to try it am waiting for that. Call them and you can get the free month if you can still take it.

I just posted my allergic reaction to Breo after just one dose. Of course it was yesterday the reaction Wes 2 hours later after doctors office was closed and of course today is July 4th. Haven't touched it sense. Face swelled up bad. Been taking Benadryl. Can't really get any answers untill Monday.
