Breo Inhaler

Hi all,
I've just been diagnosed as moderate stage COPD, with the Dr putting me on the Breo Inhaler, not 100% it's right for me, I have Crohn's also.
What is your experience with this inhaler, any concerning side effects, any improvement with phelgm/ breathing.
Grateful for any info😊

  1. Hi Luvsggs, and thanks for sharing your experience with the community by posting in the forums section. I am hopeful others in the community will see your inquiry and respond by sharing their own personal anecdotal experience with this disease and this medication (Breo).
    I also thought you might gain some additional insight from any of the articles, published right here on our COPD.net community website, which focuses on this topic. For your convenience, here is a link to that material: https://copd.net/search?s=breo. I do hope you find the information is helpful in a practical way.
    Wishing you well,
    Leon (site moderator COPD.net)

    1. Hi. Leon gave you a great link to check out our past discussions on Breo. I also wanted to mention that we have a sister site dedicated to Chron's disease and IBD. If you're looking for extra support with that or just want to check it out, they are a lovely group. The address is www.InflammatoryBowelDisease.net. Please let us know if you decide to try Breo and what your experience is like. I hope it works well for you! -Melissa, copd.net team

      1. Hi. I was diagnosed last year with Bronchiectasis and COPD (Emphysema). I'm currently in the midst of my 4th exacerbation in the past 15 months. My Doc put me on Spiriva (inhaler). I had quit taking it after the last exacerbation, but I was told last week to use it permanently. I had a lot of phlegm, which is mostly gone now. I don't know if the Spiriva did that or the other drugs I'm currently taking - Prednisone, Amoxiclav, Mucinex, and Delsym. I'm still pretty sick: SOB, weak, lightheaded, irritable, and diarrhea. Hopefully, these will pass when the exacerbation is over.
