Trying to decide between Breztri and Stiolto inhalers.

Posted by jsh66 @jsh66, Jun 17 8:43am

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?

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

@jsh66 It is Ensinephrine used with a nebulizer. A link to their website:

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.

@capnjack, you need to rinse your mouth thoroughly and also gargle (and spit it out) after using Brez. On top of my head, I think it does say in the instructions that you need to rinse, but it also does not say to gargle, which will solve your problem (as it did mine)
