Saw my doc this morning and he's put me on low dose steroids and changed my inhaler from spiriva to ellipta. I was wondering if anyone had used it. It's new on the market seemingly xx

I'm just about to start it too. Apparently used just once a day. I hate using 2 inhalers so can't wait. All the reviews are good. Hope it suits you. Clare

I was changed to Ellipta from Onbrez in January, I am also on Spiriva, seems to work ok so far. Also on low dose oral steroid Deflazacort. I am better some days than others but that goes for just about everyone I would think. x
