I’m stage 4 COPD emphysema and have been on oxygen 24/7 since 2016. I also have other medical issues and have been in Hospice twice.
After reading some of the comments I decided to stop because it sounded so negative and it didn’t make any sense to me.

This is not a steroid. Everyone’s body is different, so one may respond faster than another. How long have you had the disease compared to another? What about another disease are the drugs you take for that compatible?
Why not wait until you complete the 30 day supply of the drug before you comment? What if in 2 weeks or whatever you suddenly started feeling better…….. like me ….. my very first treatment, I got up from my chair to go to the bathroom and I actually felt air coming into my lungs, I wanted to jump in the air and scream “I can breathe!” tears streaming down my cheeks. I called family and friends ….you’ll never believe what happened…..
But then I went to do the 2nd application and I was disappointed beyond words because the nebulizer didn’t work. And every day that I waited for the new machine I was hopeful, OMG, I’ll be able to breath soon without being tethered to an oxygen machine, etc. When it arrived I didn’t get the same results but I know it’s the first thing that made a difference and I believe I will continue to improve. You’ve got to give the drug time. I will report when my 30 day supply ends
I’m thankful for the product and pray it continues to help improve my condition. Anything more would be God’s Miracle.

It sounds like this medication is right for you. I have the same condition as you. Do you have mucus buildup or coughing? It seems most of the medications are ment to loosen this up. I have never had any coughing or mucus; I’m not sure why. I have tried two types of bronchodilator's neither has helped open up my lungs nor does the rescue inhaler. It seems like with all the smoking I did I would have lots, I asked my doctor if they could clean out my lungs but he said no. I think it would. I just need something to open my lungs up it sounds like you had that experience the first time you tried this medication. Others say it took over a month to feel any good from it. Most just quit after a few weeks with no results. Your the first I read that had this type of reaction with the first use. Let us know if you continue to see good things.

I too had a very positive initial reaction to Ohtuvayre but it was just for 1 day when I first took it and then I reverted back to the same level I was at. I have continued use for 30 days and may see some improvement but nothing significant. I’ll hang in there though and hope to see some change soon.
