Hi, Please take my comments with a grain of salt, I am 41 and never used an inhaler in my life until 8 months ago. I may not be able to describe pros and cons of medicine due to lack of experience. I was very healthy until recently. I am using inhaler(s) to treat long covid symptoms or post-covid asthma. I was given Trelegy as a physician sample until Wixela came in. Because of insurance I am taking Advair HFA right now. I was told by doctor and pulmonologist that Advair HFA is inhaler form of Wixela. Wixela is a dry powder inhaler.
Since I started Wixela in mid Januray 2023, I have only used rescue inhaler albuterol twice. I was using rescue inhaler 3-4 times per day before Wixela. I have had issues with a higher resting heartbeat and a racing heart since starting Wixela, I don't know if it is related. I have backed off the Wixela/ Advair HFA and racing heart subsides, but shortness of breath comes back.
I did like taking the Wixela as a dry powder, it never hurt when I inhaled, like the "squirt" type inhaler.
