New inhalers

Posted by princessjilly @princessjilly, May 30 3:53am

Would like ideas about the most successful inhalers.
I have emphysema and have tried a lot of the newer ones with very little sucess I always end up back on symbicort and ventolin. The side affects of some are just not worth it. Any ideas appreciated.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the COPD: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease Support Group.

I take Spiriva 2.5 2 puffs daily and Budesonide-Formoterol Fumarate Dihydrate 160-4.5 ( a substitute for Symbicort) 2 puffs twice daily….the results have been life changing but that’s what works for me…..

anybody using it ?

I use Breztri 2 puff 2 times per day and Ventolin as needed, two puffs every 4 hours as needed. I do take a puff of ventolin before I use the Breztri to ensure that my airway is open for best results. But check with your provider before you do this.

I use Trelegy - one puff each morning. Seems better than Brio which I had been using.

Thanks for comments to you guys. I used to use Breztri then had problems

They did change the outward look of Breztri .. it appeared the mouth piece was too short! The key though, are you using an extender? I was not until someone introduced me to it...makes all the difference in the world in the delivery of your medication to the airway! I receivd the first one from my providers tech who does PFT's, it is by Monaghan, Z STAT.... can purchase on Amazon.
