aclidinium bromide

[welllaners]

Hi there, has anyone had any problems using this inhaler

[Nottobad]

What problems are you having. Were you shown how to use it.

[Raptorabz]

Yes, I have, ended in hospital on the 2nd day of using it. My throat swelled up and I struggled to breathe, basically I had an allergic reaction to alcidinium bromide.

I am so sorry to hear that. I have been okay so far. Been on it for about two months. And my breathing is the best it has been in years.. Take care and I hope they find a inhaler that suits you x

Thanks, Nottobad, I have since then tried everything going, I am on spiriva and no more problems.

been taking that for a couple of years now, no bad reactions, i had bad reaction to spivira so doc changed me over to alicid inium bromide

Hi Whit, thanks for replying, I have had serious side effects from Spivira and my doctor has just given me the Alicidium bromide inhaler, so here's hoping.

I have been on it for two days, the only problem I seem to have up to now is lack of sleep and a few headaches. How long did it take for you to feel the benefit?

I have just been diagnosed with COPD, so I guess they are trying different inhalers. I would be grateful for any advice you can give me.

Many thanks

Steve
