I have been using it for about a year now and it is working out quite well for me. I really like that I use it only once a day.

I was put on it about 6 months ago and I've been fine. Before I was on 2 Incruise inhalers so it's easier just taking the one. Good luck

I was put on it a month ago could walk quicker and longer been to see the COPD nurse today and told her my SATS are down to 93/4 which she confirmed normally 97 so she has asked me to go back on my previous inhalers and see if sats rise if they do she may put me on trimbo to try that.

What were you on before and do you know why they were changing your inhaler?

Sirdupla and Braltus I believe they are looking to give one inhaler instead of 2

Ok, thank you. I know you mentioned your sats were down, did you notice a difference in your breathing as well?

I have been on Spiriva and Seritide for a few years and I did not have any problems. Fourteen days ago I was told to start using Trelegy and after this time period I can say I used to be able to climb up and down my stairs four times in a row without a problem, now one climb leaves me breathless, scarey. I also have an enlarged prostate and now I have to visit my favourite room about every 30 minutes. My legs have a very bad, "throbing" sensation in them and they feel very heavy. I have been back to the nurse and I have to return on the 30th May 2019 to talk things over. Am I happy?

I always had a philosphy that if something is not broken, do not fix it.

In the meantime, as I am a prisoner in my own home, life will change drastically.

Not what you're looking for?
