Umeclidinium / vilanterol "Well, I took my first dose of Anoro Ellipta a few hours ago. I forgot how it felt to breathe and feel normal again after my Spiriva stopped working! I can now move at work freely, without needing a rescue inhaler! I hope this builds up in my system so I feel better longer. So far, so good!"

Umeclidinium / vilanterol "Started Anoro Ellipta two weeks ago. Works really well for me. I've been on Advair-like meds for years for COPD. This works so much better and only once a day. Expensive with Medicare, but really helps me. I feel very lucky that I'm able to afford it so far."

"My walking has improved dramatically. Over the 5 days I've been taking it, my distance has improved 30%, speed has increased 13%, number of rest stops decreased from 4 to 0, and cost has decreased $125 per month over Spiriva and Symbicort."

"I have trouble with inhaled steroids and often get thrush or a sore throat. After a bout of pneumonia, my doctor tried Trelegy; then Breztri; now Anoro. My sore throat is finally gone, and I am using this as a daily maintenance drug. Also, I find this device easier to use than some others I have tried. Obviously, I have COPD (after 30 years of smoking and then not smoking for 30 more years)."

Umeclidinium / vilanterol "I have used Anoro for several years, and it has some really good points and sadly some bad. I'm looking for something new, I've noticed my mind isn't as quick as it was, and my voice has changed. The fact that it is an anticholinergic medicine has me worried. Anticholinergics are a risk for dementia, and taken daily, along with a few other drugs, well, it's time to make a change before it's too late. I hope I can find something as good as Anoro Ellipta because that is how good it worked. I will go back to using it and search for a way to halt the dementia if I can't, but I don't want that gamble."

Umeclidinium / vilanterol "Only drug I have taken in 2 years of my COPD, and it helped, but I cannot afford it after I got a sample from the doctor's office. It really helped at last, but I can't afford to buy it."
