Must admit Alice, I have no real problem with Trimbow, in fact I am feeling better at the moment than I have for months, to the point where I feel a new person. I must add have never taken the other inhaler to compare. How long is it since you have started to use Trimbow, would it be, you will have to take it a little longer to feel full effect. ?? Hope it starts working soon for you.x

I started using trimbow in December never noticed any difference at first ,it is like my breathing has slowerly deteriorated, Defoe going back to fostair and spiriva

I asked for Trimbow after a friend recommended it, however my GP felt Trelegy Ellipta was better. I was on Braltus (tiotropium) before, but I didn't feel it was doing me much good so asked for a change of inhaler. I put on weight with the Ellipta and again, I didn't feel much benefit from it. I'd be interested to hear other people's experience with inhalers. Thank you

The ones that work best for me are fostair and spiriva

Is Braltus the same as Spiriva?

[Hidden in reply to HungryHufflepuff]

Was far as I know braltus is supposed to be the same as spirits, when braltus first came out I was given it instead of spirits it dried my throat up so much I was looking my voice ,gp put me back on spirits, it is supposed to be the same or have the same effect ,proberly cheaper

[HungryHufflepuff in reply to Hidden]

[Hidden in reply to Will57]

[free15years in reply to Will57]

Ditto. It seems what's good for one may not be too good for another.

[free15years in reply to Will57]
