Hello everyone, I have persevered with trimbow since 11th June and can no longer feel like this. Aching legs, hips,head,chills and headaches. Duaklir worked for me well for so many years and I was wondering does anyone use duaklir and another drug as a combination for copd. Your input is so appreciated as I have had a gutsful now. Sorry to moan. πŸ™‰πŸ‘

Oh you poor thing. I use Flutiform 250 (2 puffs twice a day) and Eklira 322 (one puff twice a day) with the usual Ventolin as and when required. Have never used Duaklir that I know of. Sorry I can't be more help.

Hiya I agree, I can't take it either!! Makes my chest bones from breast to shoulder feel like they're broken!! My arms n legs ache, it's the most awful thing I've taken!! I've had three different ones and after 7 hours of trimbow I feel like I've been hit with a bat. I am calling the nurse (lol since when did nurses go to medical school and get PhD in chemistry and pharmaceuticals?) To change yet again. Good luck Hun xx

A vote for the specialst nurses. I have found them to have vast experience and their suggested pxs have to be approved by Dr. It is usually much easier to access them than wait for consultant time.

Go back to whoever prescribed this PDQ and explain that you can't take it.

I am sorry trimbow is so bad for you. We are all different. Just a note not to put other folk off. I am a voice for how brilliant Trimbow has been for me.I hope you find the right one for you soon.

Thanks. I have bitten the bullet and started taking my duaklir again this morning. Last straw was feeling like my head was about to explode last night. Horrendous headache. Going up for bloods Thursday so will make appointment then. Thanks for replying to me, I do appreciate this site soooooo much πŸ™‚

Feeling like head is going to explode can be caused not from a actual headache, but from sinus probs and also from high blood pressure, but I'm sure your blood pressure is regularly checked. x
