Breo Ellipta (fluticasone / vilanterol) "Horrible experience! First week nothing, then headaches, high BP, dizziness and fatigue. After 27 days I couldn’t take it anymore. Things got worse all symptoms increased and chills and joint aches started. At 70, worse experience ever to prescription medicine. Two weeks off and still not normal. By the way it, never helped my breathing."

Breo Ellipta (fluticasone / vilanterol) "I had an awful reaction to just one dose of Breo. Itching and burning in my ears and throat. Runny nose. Tachycardia. Wheezing. Adrenal insufficiency the following morning. I had to use my Flovent inhaler. That was the first and last time I would use Breo. I urge everyone to read the reviews and to read the side effects on the Breo website as this is a very expensive and dangerous experiment."

Breo Ellipta (fluticasone / vilanterol) "Started using Brio for asthma three years ago. It controlled my asthma without need for my rescue inhalers. I noticed that I could not use my contacts anymore and my eyes were dry. I developed cataracts!! Also I had anxiety and insomnia. Then I developed adrenal fatigue. I stopped taking it."

Breo Ellipta (fluticasone / vilanterol) "Breo for asthma is once daily. Cutting dosing in half made sense and the medication did work. The device is much easier to use. I would suggest others ask doctors or research this one."
