Does anyone have side effects to Breo?
My doctor has recently switched me to Breo from Symbicort. I have noticed that I am extremely tired in the AM upon awakening, my head seems fuzzy until late afternoon, and I wake up with leg cramps on right side and some in the hip. What’s up with this medication?
Hi katy60, and thanks for your post in this section.
Is there a reason your doctor changed you from Symbicort to Breo? How were you doing while using Symbicort?
Wishing you well,
Leon (site moderator)I think he introduced the breo so I would only have to take it once a day.
But it doesn’t make sense to me because I was doing fine on symbicort 2 times a day, so why change it.Hi again, katy60, and thanks for your reply and explanation. It's easy to understand your point of view on this.
Do you think you would want to discuss this further with your prescribing physician? If you were doing well using Symbicort, and you have the symptoms you described (head feeling fuzzy, leg and hip cramps), while using Breo, the doctor may agree with you and change your medication back to Symbicort.What do you think?
