Trying to decide between Breztri and Stiolto inhalers.
The Breztri inhaler causes so much phlegm and hoarseness, sometimes i can hardly speak. Do others have the same issue with Breztri. Is this a common side effect?

@jsh66 Have you tried using Breztri with a spacer ?
Yes, I had the same problem with Breztri. I had heard great things about it, but after a week I was hoarse and felt tightness in my throat (not a great effect!). I had the same results with any inhaler that included a steroid. Went back to Stiolto (tiotropium and olodaterol), which works OK for me.
I have been on Breztri for a few years and so far, fingers crossed, I haven't had any problems with that. My voice isn't always the same but I do have moments with my breathing and I don't know why but generally it seems with a tiny bit of stress. I don't panic or anything I just wobble along. Older than dirt. LOL
All the best to you. Hugs from Canada
