Trimbow

I have been on Trimbow for almost a year. Brilliant. I could hardly breathe and had to use Ventolin lung spray several times a day. Could not walk anywhere as could not breathe. Doc sent me to hospital where that Doc put me on Trimbow. 87/5/9 mcg. Now I only take Trimbow in morning and teatime and nothing else. I walk again. Do lots work in garden and home. Only have a breathing prob if I forget to take Trimbow and it is about two hours after when I should have had it.So I take it and good breath two mins later. Super Trimbow.

Hi EttaarianeI've been on Trimbow for a couple of years now and it's not really helped with the breathlessness. My GP practice put me on the higher dose back in November, but I haven't found it make any difference so I'm going back to the original dose. The breathlessness is a real struggle especially at work, and it really gets me down.

I've just had a blood test today to check my heart, liver and kidneys.

I'm hoping they can get this sorted with the correct medication soon. 😢

I'm pleased that it's working for you.

Hi I also went on Trimbow last year and have been much improved. I used to dread the summer as asthma really bad and numerous doses of steroids to get me through.last summer I couldn't believe how well I coped .Had been on Trimbow since March and had a few problems at first with throat soreness with it .Advised to use a spacer and plenty of mouth rinsing after used. Persevered and very pleased I did as it settled .Long may it last and not scared of this forthcoming summer. Trimbow made a huge difference. I put a post on months ago about this and hoped it helped others
