For COPD "The doctor gave me a sample of this on Wednesday. I used it once in his office. An hour later, the headache started, then the pain all over my body and a bad cough. After that, the chills started, and for the next 2 days, I was too weak and sleepy to get out of bed. The symptoms are slowly getting better, and I am still feeling them today. It's Saturday, hopefully, it will completely go away soon. The first 36 hours after using it, I wasn't sure if I would live or die. Only used it the one time."

For COPD "I initially coughed for the first hour, then the following day, half of my head hurt to the touch, it felt like it was sunburned. That lasted a week. Then I had increased mucus that woke me up at night, as I was choking on it. I had pains in my hips and joints, and the pain moved down my legs as I lifted them to lay on a couch. I could no longer lift my arms above my head without them being in pain at the muscle, which felt as if it went down to the bone. A sore throat and headaches. Other than those side effects, my breathing did improve, but not enough to warrant putting up with the side effects. I lasted 3 months, then gave it up. The doctor then tried me on Trimbow, that lasted 3 days when I ended up with vertigo. I'm now back on Seebri and Fostair."

For Asthma "65-year-old female, adult-onset asthmatic. Switched from Combivent and Qvar late November. I loved what it did for clearing my airway, but by mid-December I started being fatigued, in March pains, and by March 27, hospitalized for hypokalemia (2.5) and hyperglycemia. Switching back to prior inhalers."

For Asthma "I have been using this inhaler for two days and have seen some improvement as far as breathing in and breathing out, and the tight chest is minimal. I think it’s a really good inhaler, and I hope to continue to use it. The only side effect that I can tell is the upper part of my mouth has a sore maybe and a little itchy at the roof of my mouth. Other than that, it’s not out of control or anything else for that matter, but I do know it’s there."
