For COPD "I recently was changed to Anoro, and the first month was fabulous. I could breathe after being on Combivent for 8 years for COPD. Then I started having breathing issues, along with a cough and tightness in my throat. Totally disappointed since Anoro was so great in the beginning. I do live in Florida and walk my dog several times a day, which the weather is extremely hot and humid. Now back on my old inhalers until I see my doctor."

For COPD "I was given a sample of Anoro Ellipta the first day I met my new pulmonologist. I had been on a dual inhaler with a spacer. After 1 dose of Anoro, I had really bad irritation in the back of my throat and could not sleep. I took it for 3 days and decided this is not the drug for me. I had headaches, dry cough, raspy voice, and bronchial spasms. My joints started to ache, and it limited my physical exercise."

For COPD "I have COPD, started Anoro Ellipta 11 months ago. I thought it was a miracle drug at first, easier breathing, didn't need a rescue inhaler for months. 7 months into using it, my legs started hurting so bad, had X-rays for blood clots, had more X-rays, they saw mild osteoarthritis. Still in pain, went to a chiropractor to get relief, none. I also developed a terrible cough in the last few months. I decided to check out this site, and I am convinced it is the Anoro. I need to call my pulmonologist."
