New drug: Anyone have experience with the inhaler Anoro ellipta?

@jfperrone- I'm so sorry to hear this. You must have been very uncomfortable. I'm also sorry to say that I have no idea if Trelegy caused your symptoms. I would have called my doctor first but I can understand why you didn't.

However, I would recommend calling him now. Not all coincidences are coincidences and if Trelegy did cause this then you need to know the main ingredients, at least so you can keep them on your medical list. Trelegy combines three different drugs that together make a pretty powerful inhaler.

Also, since you have been prescribed an inhaler then your doctor needs to prescribe another inhaler for you. You might be gun-shy right now but if your breathing is restricted that comes first!

You sound very sensible to me, but what do you think?

Stage 4 copd with emphysema. So far I really like my Trelegy. I have been on Breo, Incruse, etc. I haven't been on Anoro. I will say exercise has been a very good benefit for combating this copd too!

I have been on Annoro for about a year now, it seems to work well for me. You can only take one dose every 24 hrs, and I take mine about 6:30pm or so. I was having trouble sleeping at night because of mucus buildup from my Bronchiectasis, and it helps break up the mucus so I can sleep at night. It still seems to be effective for me until around 6:00am the next morning. I only wish I could take twice a day!!!

Are you taking Musinex? I take 600 mg every morning around 9 AM. That works for me. Then I do my Trelegy about noon daily.

I have severe COPD and Alpha 1 (MZ). I use nebulizer because I believe they work better AND covered under part B, so with my supplement out of pocket is ZERO. I use BRAVANA, DUONEB, BUDESINIDE, AND ALBUTERAL as rescue inhaler.

I've been using Treligy for about 4 years and it seems to work well, without any side affects. Actually there has been a tiny bit of improvement.

I wonder if using the nebulizer would work for me. My COPD and emphysema is moderate, though I now am on oxygen 24/7. Cutting the cost to zero would be very helpful on our small budget -- it would keep me from going into the donut hole which is very costly. Are all of these BRAVANA, DUONEB, BUDESINIDE, AND ALBUTERAL as rescue inhaler used at one time in the nebulizer?

Out of curiosity here, did your COPD resulted as a consequence of Alpha 1? I am Alpha 1 carrier (SNull) & have mild lung obstruction, all my providers say Alpha 1 is not to blame for my symptoms. Confused here

@jfperrone- Good morning. There are several new inhalers with the term Elipta. I use Trelegy Ellipta (fluticasone, umeclidinium, and vilanterol), which is used to treat COPD. It has made a huge difference in my breathing.

I scanned your profile but didn't see that you used inhalers. Do you also have asthma? The link below will explain all of the new inhalers.
