Hi

I have severe copd made worse by bacterial lung infection recently

I have used the Trimbow inhaler for the last 2 years and have found it works really well. Much better than the dry powder inhalers.

Just make sure you rinse you mouth really well after each puff so you dont get oral thrush.

I ho p e it works for you.
