"The makers should be shot for this drug and all the others with fluoride!! Used for years, constantly going down in muscle strength, with muscle cramps and bone pain, unable to even turn my neck. Finally broke my hip this year from all the bone degeneration from this medicine. Never use drugs with fluoride!! The drug companies should be executed for making such devastating drugs! Get off of it while you can!! I did a small amount better in 6 months, not totally recovered."

"It seemed to work, but later began to have severe anxiety, I didn't associate it with Breo, but now I do, afraid to leave the house. I just had a heart attack. I believe Breo played a part. Don't take this toxic drug. You could wind up like me. Hopefully, there are much better choices out there."

"I have been on Breo for 2 years, no more visits to the emergency hospital and a lot less Ventolin is needed. After all tests and 40 years of using Ventolin, Flovent, Pulmicort, I have tried so many. My main issue was always related to bronchospasms that the other pumps would not treat. I overdosed on Flovent and ended up with thrush so many times, along with pumping Ventolin 20 times a day in crises, to end up in the hospital several times per year due to allergy flare-ups and cold weather flare-ups. Breo really made my life easier, I cannot live without it anymore and now use Ventolin 4 to 5 times a week instead of those 4 times per day. Really worth trying!!"

"It helps, but it doesn’t get me all the way throughout the day. Inhalers are very effective, and this is the only one my insurance pays for, so I stay on it. I can’t afford $500.00 a month for a different name brand."

"Was really good for my COPD, long-lasting. BUT! I had a severe allergic reaction to it. Face swelled, and my airway was starting to be cut off."

"Breo works extremely well. I still get out of breath in stressful moments or venturing out and about. But the results are very good. I have suggested other COPD patients look into this medicine."

"Breo Ellipta improved my breathing greatly, however, the side effects were extreme. I had two episodes of double vision, one while driving, and extreme back pain to the point where I could not walk."

"This stuff is so expensive it must be made out of gold dust. Somebody that's on social security either has to give up their roof over their head or live in their car or tent to afford the stuff."

"I have been using Breo for about 3 years, and now it has gone up to $490.99 for 30 days. Who can afford it? I'm-it works so well, and now I can't afford to buy it. Help."
