Hi Garshe.

I have been on this for about 6 months now. My last inhalers gave me a sort of dry coating in my nose and provoked my sinuses. So filthy headaches too. Anoro elipta was one, can’t remember the other.

Anyhoo, this one has been better for me on that front, I still have the odd exacerbation but nothing too heavy really. I think it is for preventative reasons in my case. I was diagnosed by X-ray and ct scan. Not had Spirometry, but was right in the middle of a lockdown.

I digress, hopefully it works for you too. No grumbles here. 👍😊

[garshe in reply to Autumnman]

Thats great to know. I wasnt having a problem with the Spiriva and Sirdupla but COPD suggested I try this to replace the others. I will give it a go and see how it goes. I've Been told I can revert back to old medication of required. Thanks for information .take care xxSheila 💕⚘

[Alice70]

hope it works

[garshe in reply to Alice70]

thanjs will let you know if any improvement xxSheila 💕⚘

[Tykelady]

Showing my ignorance. Is that the actual inhaler or a spacer? I've never seen anything like it before. xx

[garshe in reply to JJ_7]

[garshe]

I'm off new medication as didnt like it. . Back to my Spiriva and Sirdupla. It was changed as a trial as wasnt havent any problems in old meds. All back to normal now thanks xx👍⚘💕

[lovejoyliz in reply to garshe]

Oh my goodness garshe,

My pharmacist at the doctor's surgery changed my meds to this Trixeo, and l have to call my doctor today to get her to put me back to my Spiriva & Fostair inhalers.

As soon as l used it, it gave me a tightness in my chest ans breathlessness immediately after using Trixeo Aerosphere. This Trixeo gave me a racing beating heart faster than usual, l felt shaky, given me problems with my sight, a headache or feel sick (nausea).

Not for me at all.

[garshe in reply to lovejoyliz]

Cause my heart rate to rise also and breathlessness Ended up on oxygen. Back on my old meds now no problem xxSheila 🥾💕⚘
