"I had an awful reaction to just one dose of Breo. Itching and burning in my ears and throat. Runny nose. Tachycardia. Wheezing. Adrenal insufficiency the following morning. I had to use my Flovent inhaler. That was the first and last time I would use Breo. I urge everyone to read the reviews and to read the side effects on the Breo website, as this is a very expensive and dangerous experiment."

"Horrible experience! First week nothing, then headaches, high BP, dizziness, and fatigue. After 27 days, I couldn’t take it anymore. Things got worse, all symptoms increased, and chills and joint aches started. At 70, worse experience ever to prescription medicine. Two weeks off and still not normal. By the way, it never helped my breathing."

"I've had asthma for 37 years. I've almost died 3 times from it. I've been airlifted to a large hospital 3 times. This inhaler is by far the best inhaler I've ever taken. It's incredible."

"Breo for asthma is once daily. Cutting dosing in half made sense, and the medication did work. The device is much easier to use. I would suggest others ask doctors or research this one."

"Just took it for the first time, it's burning and stabbing in my chest. I feel like I'm having a heart attack. My oxygen/pulse was 98/99, now 85/145. Think I'm going to go to the ER now."

"Day 6 on Breo. Today, I had to use my rescue inhaler twice, and I did that also on day one and two. So far, not impressed. Maybe I need to give it a few more days."

"Breo Ellipta. It lasts 24 hours plus! This has been a miracle drug for me. No side effects at all. Been using it for over a year. BREO is a lifesaver. This is what I needed for the past 8 years of gasping for air, nothing else worked for me. The vilanterol medicine found in Breo saved my life. Thank God and thank you, Breo."
