We are all different. I use a nebulizer as needed with 3% saline when I have mucus. Otherwise I just use my 3 inhalers as maintenance. My 3 inhalers are pretty good for me and I don’t find the nebulizer really adds anything, except when I’m having a flare up.
People that have low inspiratory force may find nebulizers help get medicine deeper into the lungs than they could with inhalers. It’s good to discuss with our providers.

Reading all these negative comments about Trelegy seems crazy. I was on Symbicort for years and still needed oxygen most of the time. My doctor switched me to Trelegy and now I only use Oxygen at night. It works great for me. We definitely are all different.
I mostly only use rescues when I catch an infection although last summer’s bad air quality caused me to do nebulizer a bit more. My pulmonologist’s favorite for rescue is Airsupra which I have success with but it still doesn’t do the trick like Albuterol via nebulizer for me.

@nancyg25 yes everyone’s body is different everyone’s levels of COPD are different what works for some don’t work for others. I started with trelegy and wasn’t getting any relief so I was put on breztri which definitely help but done the road not so much then an add on medication through a nebulizer helped so I was taking both but now unfortunately I got the breathing issues again, now i gotta look into another medication

I use anoro inhaler, trelegy did not do anything for me
I don't think inhalers can replace nebulizer

3 ReactionsThe trilogy inhaler opens up the airway and the nebulizer medication treats the airway!!
Take care!
