Hi , I also take Trimbow two puffs twice a day, if you don’t hear it click when you breathe it in you must do it again, and make sure the number registers by going down, I do believe there are different strengths,

Hope this helps.

Yes that's right it does click all the time and numbers do go down I always check but I feel that it's not effective anymore I'm on trimbow next and it's 88 5 9 mcg so don't know if strong one or is there a stronger one

I have been on Trimbow for just over 2 weeks and finding it makes me cough more. I think because it's a powder you don't actually feel it going down. Think I will be reverting to my Trelegy if the cough continues. Brian

Hi

I don’t know about different strengths but I use a Trimbow inhaler with an aero chamber (like the volumetric but smaller). I switched to this type as I didn’t like the residue of powder I often had with the Next inhaler .

The trimbow I'm on you can't use a volumatic or aero chamber that's the small one I might be better off with that one

That’s the lowest I believe , in the inhaler which I’m on the lowest is 87/5/9

Germantara in reply toPiper21

Oh right so if I try to change it I'd probly going lower dosage so wonder if 88 5 9 the highest one

This is the one I’m using, I had to change from a powder one as I didn’t have enough “suck” ! It works for me, taken through an aero chamber xx

I have been on Trimbow for a few months and have developed an n termittent cough but also having a dreadful time sleeping, I catch up a little in the chair daytime but nights are long, exhausting, boring @nd it seems to coincide with Trimbow. Have tel cons with COPD nurse on Fri so maybe change back to Trelegy. Also have very dry mouth using CPAP, don’t know if that the inhaler or sheer number of meds.
