"Used Breztri for 4 1/2 months and have zero flare ups. Before I had 3 in 2 months and was switched to Breztri only problem is that it is expensive fortunately I’m a veteran so I get a reduced price But I believe it’s a super drug if you can afford it"

"Appears to work well. I was diagnosed with pneumonia and within 3 days the fever is gone and I am feeling a lot better. My successful battle with pneumonia maybe from; 1-.With Breztri, for 2 months was on a 45-60 min. Daily aerobic & exercise program which strengthen my lungs. 2- Also, last year I received the senior dosage pneumonia vaccine. This is far better than my battle with pneumonia in 2010. It took me 6 weeks to get over it."

"My doctor switched me from Symbicort to Breztri. Looking at the reviews, I must be an outlier because I couldn’t tell if I had taken it and/or felt worse whereas with my old inhaler there was a noticeable + difference."

"I graduated to using Breztri from Symbicort, when the Symbicort began to decline in effectiveness. The Breztri has been very effective in controlling my symptoms and with no side effects that I have noticed."

"I am very satisfied with the results of Breztri Aerosphere. I started using it several months ago to help with COPD. After starting Breztri, I have not had to use the rescue inhaler or the nebulizer for attacks of shortness of breath and, in general, difficult breathing. I had tried several other inhalers without any improvement. I would recommend this medicine to anyone who is suffering from COPD. I take two puffs twice daily, and it keeps me breathing well all day long."

"my pulmonary doctor put me on Breztri Aerosphere and said to take two doses a day. The first day was fine and worked pretty well. On the second day, I took the first dose and ended up passing out. It is a good thing my son was home as he called 911. An ambulance came and got me and I woke up the next day in the hospital. Breztri Aerosphere is not for me. I'm glad to hear it works well for others. I don't know why it didn't work for me."

"Been using it for 8 months after switching from Symbicort/Spiriva...seems to work as well the latter is no better. The yellow breathers are terrible as half the time it doesn't give you a puff and the counter is way off which makes it show you are taking more than you really are and after 2 weeks of use it seems you are getting weak puffs... This medicine is really expensive."

"Breztri works great when the dispenser delivers the medication. I’ve had a lot of trouble with it. It seems when it get down to 20-30 doses it stops dispensing the meds. I’ve had quite a few flare ups as a result. I think it wasn’t delivering the medication when I used it!"

"Since using the new yellow dispenser I can not keep my oxygen level up. New units do not deliver the same as the white units did. They are harder to shake and at times feel like only air is coming out. I rate it a 1 out of 10! Go back to the white one."

"The minute I used it, I told my doctor it was a game changer! My breathing was easier immediately! I have tried most of the others and nothing helped as immediately as Breztri. I had no ill effects and it’s as easy as any other inhaler. I use it twice daily (two inhalations each time)."

"I have tried 4 different inhalers for my COPD and they helped, but not like Breztri. This medication has given me my life back. I have been on it for about 4 months and can now do normal daily activities without my oxygen levels dropping. I am still seeing improvement and feel stronger every day. The only problem I have with it is the last 10 days of the inhaler, I am not getting the correct dose out of it. If you have COPD and are struggling, try this medication."

"In May, I got samples from my doctor for a month. It worked pretty good, had just a couple of headaches. In August, I qualified for a year of treatment. I used one inhaler but by the end, the headaches started again. I started the second inhaler and the headaches got worse. I stopped taking it in the morning and only took it in the evening, but overnight the headaches started again. I decided to stop taking it for at least a week, and then I'll start again. Not sure what to do about it. I do feel a lot better, I can walk and clean the house without getting tired or being breathless, but I hate the headache."

"I was taking Trelegy Ellipta for my COPD, but wasn't convinced it was the best medication available - so I decided to try Breztri. After using Breztri for a month, I switched back to Trelegy. I found Breztri to be less effective and just as expensive as Trelegy. Additionally, the inhaler was less functional and seemed to be of 'inferior quality. I realize others will have different results and opinions, but I am perfectly satisfied that I switched back to Trelegy."

"I've been using it for a year now for my COPD and emphysema brought on by acute COVID lung. Before I started on this medication, I couldn't walk up a flight of stairs or even take the trash out without nearly losing consciousness. It's very expensive, but my doctor gave me a prescription discount card from the manufacturer, which in conjunction with my insurance, made it very affordable. It has changed my life and given me a second chance. I work a physical labor job and I'm again able to perform at a high level. I can even run on the beach with my dog again. To avoid the sores in the mouth and throat that people complain about, I brush my teeth and gargle water after each of my twice-daily doses. I literally believe I might be dead today if not for this medication."

"Did not realize I could not breathe until my first use of Breztri. Slept for a while 4-5 hours then awake for good, very hot at night, crown-like headache, some urinary retention. Switched to just 2 puffs in the morning, getting better."

"I recently switched over to Breztri 160 as the alternative medicine (Trelegy 200) made my chest feel heavy 4 hours after the daily dose. I used the alternative for 6 months. Breztri has improved my COPD symptoms significantly. I am actively doing yard work, going to the gym, and leading a normal, happy life."

"Insomnia, hoarseness, sore throat, and weakness, dizziness. I have had issues with all the above. Very expensive drug that I don't think most people can afford."

"Breztri Aerosphere works well until the 20 th day, then there is a dramatic decrease in dispensed medication and then an increase in symptoms. For the cost, this is criminal."

"Working really well. Been on it for a year. Problems: bad joint and muscle pains. Urinary tract and lower abdomen pains a couple of times a year. Working great for breathing."

"Works for me but had to go to only using 1x a day as I hit “donut hole” with my insurance and cost went from $47 to $190 a month!!!! Too expensive for me"

"I have COPD and came down with a bad case of bronchitis. I was having difficulty breathing and it helped me start to breathe much easier within 24 hours."

"It works well for me, but the co-pay for me is unsustainable. I have to borrow money that I cannot pay back just to get the medicine."

"I like Breztri for COPD breathing, but it's difficult to talk when I use it. I went back on Anoro Ellipta for a while, but due to the cost since my advantage plan doesn't cover it, I went back on Breztri, taking one dose in the morning and one dose in the late afternoon. Again, my voice is raspy and barely heard. Yes, I breathe better, but I can't talk. I may go back to Anoro Ellipta again. Wondering if anyone else has this problem."
