Breo Ellipta (fluticasone / vilanterol) "The makers should be shot for this drug and all the others with fluoride!! Used for years constantly going down in muscle strength with muscle cramps and bone pain unable to even turn my neck. Finally broke my hip this year from all the bone degeneration from this medicine. Never use drugs with fluoride!! The drug companies should be executed for making such devastating drugs! Get off of it while you can!! I did small amount better in 6 months not totally recovered."

Breo Ellipta (fluticasone / vilanterol) "It seemed to work, but later began to have severe anxiety, I didn't associate it with Breo but now I do, afraid to leave the house. I just had a heart attack. I believe Breo played a part . Don't take this toxic drug. You could wind up like me. Hopefully, there are much better choices out there."

Breo Ellipta (fluticasone / vilanterol) "I have been on Breo for 2 years, no more visits to the emergency hospital and a lot less Ventolin is needed. After all tests and 40 years of using ventolin, flovent, pulmicort,I have tried so many . My main issue was always related to bronchospasms that the other pumps would not treat. I overdosed on Flovent and ended up with thrush so many times along with pumping ventolin 20 times a day in crises to end up on the hospital several times per year due to allergy flare ups and cold weather flare ups. Breo really made my life easier, I cannot live without it anymore and now use ventolin 4 to 5 times a week instead of those 4 times per day. Really worth trying !!"
