Breztri + reliever

[parra]

I've been using Breztri twice a day- morning and bedtime. It's the in between time when I have some difficulty. Does anybody use a reliever inhaler in between ?

HI, just to check whether you have asthma or COPD - I saw on another post you have COPD, and Breztri is not approved for asthma (though it doesn't mean there aren't people with asthma taking it who benefit!)

With asthma, I would say if you're struggling daily and needing reliever, then your asthma isn't controlled and you need to contact your doctor and say you're struggling (assuming you haven't just started a new treatment which takes time to work). That may also be the case with COPD, though I'm reluctant to advise any further as I'm not overly familiar with what's normal or expected for COPD.

You could try ringing the helpline (for any lung condition: Call us on 0300 222 5800

I would also say that while you're welcome on here, you may have more luck on the lung conditions forum if you're not already a member: healthunlocked.com/asthmalu...

They will have members who are much more knowledgeable about COPD there who may be better able to help than here where most people have asthma and their advice may not be that helpful.
