I was taking it twice daily but cut down to once. I started having panic attacks with blurred vision. I will be discussing with pulmonary doctor soon. Alot of issues are dealing with gas regulating of my blood stream.

1 Reaction@suzyq61, O dear, that is so disheartening, thanks for posting, so I don't get my hopes up to much !! I was on trelegy before this, for quite awhile and it worked so good....til it didn't 😥 now I've been on 3 different meds trying to find something that works, I'm losing hope at this point, maybe I'm to far gone, I just don't know anymore 😥 I pray 🙏 for nothing but the best for you 🤗

2 Reactions@hazely just give it time like i mentioned it helped in the beginning for me but everyone is different our bodies react differently to medications, this one may be the one for you. I was on trelegy too but i felt no difference so im on breztri. I started doing upper pulmonary exercises its half hour a day and that seems to be giving me some relief, we gotta just keep trying every thing we can, i hope the medication helps you

@kndaustin71 I have been on ohtuyare for several weeks now. Right away I felt like I could breath easier . I even called my lung doctor and told him how great I thought it was working. Then I had a little trip and I do not like going away from home over night because of the work to get all my medical stuff together and fear I will forget something. The morning I was leaving I woke up and could hardly breathe. I had extra breathing problems all the time I was gone. Was it my nerves or the medicine? I am doing better now and it’s been a couple of weeks. I think the new medicine is helping but did it cause the panic or what ever happened? I do not want to experience that again. It was rough but also embarrassing.
