User Reviews for Breo Ellipta inhalation

My doctor prescribed brio ellipta and I got the first one free. It felt like I was cured. I was energetic and my lungs filled to capacity with every breath. I was so happy. But my insurance wouldn't let me have it. They said I had to take Symbicort which is okay, but I notice that I need it when its time for the next dose. Like one other person said it worked so well I could have forgotten to take the next dose. But when I read another person's review about blood blister in his mouth, I did get one of those as well. I didn't think about that until I read the review, but Breo Ellipta was well worth a blood blister. I wish my insurance would okay it. Read More Read Less

Since beginning this medication 5 days ago I have woken up in the middle of the night every night and cannot fall back asleep.

After struggling for 4 months with a terrible bout of bronchitis that I had to be hospitalized for, I have finally made progress after my Dr added this drug to my treatment regimen. I've used ADVAIR, SYMBICORT, etc. with only short term relief. I kept trying to fight the bronchitis and COPD (and I have asthma as well), until my daughter had to call 911 and have me rushed to the hospital with all of the above and Congestive Heart Failure, from waiting so long to get help. I was pumped full of steroids for 10 days, then began to wean off, since I'm only allowed to have steroids if it is a matter of life and death, from prolonged use I have developed cataracts and osteoporosis at a young age. After Taking Breo for a week, I was finally able to cough up all of the fluid and congestion in my lungs, and am now able to breathe better than I have in years. I no longer use my nebulizer, and rarely need my rescue inhaler that used to be a life/death situation if I misplaced it. I'm so thankful that I can stop going to the hospital and breathe well in any environment, and rarely even cough.Read More Read Less

After five days of very effective use it caused blood filled blisters in the lining of my mouth.

Has increased my abilities to breathe and only having to take it once day is great. Easy to use if you follow instructions as suggested.

Had a severe reaction of hives and a rash. Occured the beginning of 3rd week.

I have COPD and was having several flare ups. I have been on this medicine for two months with no flare ups. My wheezing is gone, I am breathing much better, and have found I can walk farther with out being winded. I wish this med had been available years ago.
