Probably best to stick to one area to discuss it, a lot of people get confused - me especially !

I was asked to trial it. It did not suit and I had a lot of severe headaches and facial pain with it. But we are all different........

auntmary, how soon after starting onbrez did you start getting headaches and facial pain.

As far as I remember it was within a couple of days, certainly less than a week. The headaches then continued for 3 or 4 days when I stopped using it. I also had pain across my forehead, eyes and nose. Not just discomfort, real pain. I only took it for a short while then had to give up.

I have been using Onbrez for 1 yr. now and have had no side affects, it has helped my breathing a great deal.

Hi Maggie,I have also used it for approx. 1 yr.and very happy with it.The first fortnight was amazing! But it gradually settled into the pattern I was at before.However I am happy with it, having no side effects etc.

I have just finished a 10 day trail period with onbrez. I am breathing easier.

So far so good, so my GP has put me on 300 micrograms daily.

He suggests i take the onbrez first and the spiriva 2 hours later.

The onbrez and spiriva compliment each other.

Hi Keith,glad you are going well on the onbrez.I normally take the spiriva then the onbrez immediately after,may trial giving that 2 hour break,to see if it makes a difference.All the best to you

Just another quick one.

I found taking the onbrez through the spiriva handi haler smoothed out the roughness.

It works for me. :)
