I was on trimbow for about 4 years and found it good for me but my consultant took me off and put me on spiolto as it is Steriod free. I do however take 1 prednisolone tablet every day

I’ve been on Trimble for the last 6 months. I noticed an immediate improvement in my breathing. I hope it has the same effect for you

I was constantly having chest infections after pneumonia and a bronchiectasis diagnosis for 6 months until I went on Trimbow works for me for over a year now

Me I am at a loss with all the medication so refusing to take it say I have COPD after they told me I had Asthma - nurse only does Asthma review seems not that bothered really. Truth is I think no-one is bothered, ill called 111 waited for a call as needed medication most probs - NO CALL - 111 called me next day at 10pm at night waking me asking me if I wanted to speak to a GP. Call was not good said no treating myself and most probs not get a call and was not prepared to wait up all night by phone like day before and have nothing. Whole system seems to be under collapse. Now no glass viles for blood tests. I am so depressed about it all.
