That's interesting. I've never heard of that inhaler. I'm glad you're finding it so useful.

I have been living with steadily worsening COPD for almost ten years, and I am eternally grateful to the respiratory nurse specialist who recommended me to try Duaklir Genuair some years ago. Taken twice daily togeter with 200 ml Fostair inhale it was the only change in my medication which has made a noticeable improvement to my breathing and my general sense of well-being. I know these things are not necessarily transferable, but I can report that it has been life-changing for me though my lung function is still very poor.

Hi, so pleased that you have been prescribed this and it has helped you so quickly. That is brilliant.

It has been available for a while for Asthma and only recently they have added it for us with COPD. I hope it continues to work for you.

You must be pleased.

Go well.

Hi Sandra, that's great you've found the right inhaler for you. As you say we're all different but I wonder if it would work for Bronchiectasis? Take care xxx
