Fluticasone / salmeterol "Just started this inhaler. Dr. only put me on it for a week. Then she will change me to another type with no powder. But I love the way I can breathe now. It's amazing to me, I CAN BREATHE."

Fluticasone / salmeterol "Can't really tell if it is doing any good. It isn't like night and day. If it is helping, the effect is very subtle. Doesn't show any improvement on my oximeter (relative to non-use)."

"I am on this medication a week now for my COPD/emphysema. I can actually breathe much better than I could on the Flovent Disc. I had a flare-up where no air movement was being made. My lungs are moving normally, almost. I am on prednisone as well. I never smoked, so this is a great medication for me."
