Have been using this inhaler for nearly three years and actually don't find it very useful anymore. Having said that I do have another condition and it may well be that this is working quietly in the background but in such a way that it's not particularly noticeable. However I have never had any side effects from it which is a big win-win and is simple to take. Good luck as it is well worth a try.

Thank you Annie31 my brother has COPD and a blue inhaler will see how I go on a bit scared to try it

[Annie31 in reply to Lina-61]

Don't be scared to try it, I think as inhalers go this is a good one and it's just me with my conditions changing that It could well be losing its efficacy. Am trying to sort this out at the moment. I think your brother has been given Ventolin in the blue container (or Salamol which is the genetic version) and this is a rescue inhaler to be used when short of breath and need something to act quickly. I was given Ventolin as well but didn't have to use it at all for about two years whilst using the Ultibro, but now I do have to sometimes. The Ultibro is a long lasting preventer.

Hi, I’ve used ultribro breezehaler for several years , found it was only inhaler that could tolerate and helped. I have PCD, now have to Nebulise twice a day as well as use Ultibro. Good luck

Thanks is there any side effects that I need to look out for

Lina61

[Annie31 in reply to Lina-61]

There is a leaflet inside the box telling you all about this inhaler, or you can Google it. As I said before I didn't suffer any side effects so don't remember, sorry!

[Lina-61 in reply to Annie31]

Yes I will look at it its 52 pages long thank you xx

[Morrison10 in reply to Lina-61]

Not any I’ve identified whereas others did, think I’ve tried all available, but we are all different, what suits one person may cause issues for others.

[Lina-61 in reply to Morrison10]

True thank you I've asked a neighbour if his mum got side effects but he said no

[younginmind]
