Regarding Breo
I took Breo for nine months and stopped with my pulmonologist's approval. Every couple of months I would have a bout of pneumonia and we couldn't figure out why. Well, one of the side effects of Breo IS susceptibility to pneumonia. After the third case in nine months, enough was enough. Now not everyone experiences this, but I was one of the unfortunate few who do. This overshadowed any medical benefit I might have been experiencing. So you should discuss any unexpected issues right away with your doctor. The lists of side effects have more information than we sometimes pay attention to.
