ANORO INHALER!

[PteW43]

I was diagnosed with COPD in 2005. On the whole have managed it well in that time (except for the dreaded exacerbation). It hasn't interrupted my lifestyle until the past year with 3 flare-ups. Had been on Sea-bri inhaler for some time but because of the increase in exacerbations I was changed to DUAKLIR inhaler 3 months ago.

First 2 months all seemed fine then my cough increased to the point I felt I was choking at times. It was so embarrassing if it happened in public. The 'Froth' (excuse me) I was bringing up was never ending At first I thought I was starting with another flare-up but when I used my oxsimeter my oxygen was 96/97%. I don't start that rescue pk willy-nilly.

On the 8th Oct & appt with respiratory nurse I had stopped this inhaler 2 days b4 I got to her & the chronic cough etc had lessened considerably.

Now on day 2 of another inhaler called ANORO.

Has anyone used this inhaler?

I know we can all have different reactions to med but I would be grateful for any comments or info on this inhaler. 🤔

I was admonished the other day for reminding someone that this is a heart community when someone asked an unrelated question (and so the chances of getting a good range of answers on something that is off topic is reduced). However although you might get a few answers on here, you might be better served by doing a search across the whole HealthUnlocked site for 'Duaklir' and 'Anoro' as I have done, where there are currently 107 posts listed many in the Lung Conditions Community forum, or even join one of these other communities and ask your question there.

Good Morning Lowerfield - Well I'm grateful for ur advice because I was just wondering & looking to see how I find the BLF site. Can u help plz? I had thought I'd posted to there. 🙄

Is there a simple way to 'click' between the BLF & BHF on here?

As far as I could see I don't think there is a BLF community on HealthUnlocked unlike the BHF. So I suggest you find the Lung Conditions Community as I mentioned earlier, although there are others similar. The search field covering the whole of the HealthUnlocked site is at the top for both computer and phone sites.
