Hope and welcome to the site Lee, it's always nice to meet new people. I have been on Trimbow for just over a year now, I prefer it to all the other inhalers I've been on and my breathing is so much better. I really hope this helps you and your breathing starts to improve soon. Take care and please keep posting let us know how you are. Have a great day 😊 Bernadette xx

I would check first as there is steroid in trimbow and 2 bronchodialaters. Which is a big leap from what you are on now. Regarding trimbow it works well for some and not for others. But like all drugs they all have side effects. It just depends what your own body can tolerate. Hope that helps. Other people have commented on trimbow. Just type trimbow in the search on this site. Keep in touch and let us know how you get along. We are all here to help you where we can. Pat x

Don't leave asking about any medicine conflicts, you still need to be able to breathe. Ring up and ask to speak to your Oncologist's secretary to ask the question. Failing that, ask your pharmacist, they have the knowledge to answer these questions as well. Good luck with your cancer treatment.
