Inhalers

[Potofgoldandblue]

I am on Trelegy Elliot’s which gives me a sore throat. I tried Trimbow which gave me side effects so went back to Trelegy. I’m going to ask for something else without powder, but need some advice.

I am fine on Fostair, Ipratropium bromide and Salmanol. No bad effects.

i am on Trelegy, it’s best to rinse mouth thoroughly and gargle with water after using it. I haven’t had a problem except slight hoarse voice.

I hope you get sorted.

I do gargle and rinse but my throat feels sore and as I’m in a choir I can’t get all the notes. I usually do a solo but daren’t offer this Christmas.

hi, I have just been given Trimbow , just wondering what side effects you had .

My peak flow is going down , so asked the pharmacist for advice .

I tried Fostair before .

[Potofgoldandblue in reply to knitter]

I had nausea and headaches and felt generally awful, but I’m sensitive to a lot of meds.

[knitter in reply to Potofgoldandblue]

Thanks for the reply , my chest is tighter and coughing more .

Pharmacist suggested going back to my previous Qvar and contacting health professional next week

I was just given Breztri. So far so good. My PF went from 41% to 61%, so it is working for me at least. Maybe too early yet to see if any side effects pop up, but so far I have none.

hi Willow, are you in the UK? I can’t find if it’s available here.

[Willow7733 in reply to Potofgoldandblue]

I am in Canada.

I have just been given Breztri but haven’t started it yet. When you mention your PF has gone from 41% to 61% do you mean your PEF (Peak Expiratory Flow) or Pulmonary Function?

Thank you

[Willow7733 in reply to jackdup]

Pulmonary function.

[jackdup in reply to Willow7733]

Thank you for your reply. Do you measure yours yourself and if so what type of device do you have?

[Willow7733 in reply to jackdup]

I am followed by the pulmonary clinic at a local hospital. I go for my function tests, then I go to the pulmonologist office, and we go through my results.

[jackdup in reply to Willow7733]

Thanks very much

I've gone back to Fostair Beclametazone, find it is moree effective. Inhalers are usually 2x puffs daily. Do you take yours via a spacer ?? Again I find effective. Good mouth hygiene, warmed honey gargle or a kind mouth wash a few times a day. Although I'm sure you would have tried these
