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 moved from Fostair and Spiriva to Anoro. Initially, it was a relief not having to take the drug twice a day, but the side effects are really bad for me. An hour after taking Anoro, I get a decent headache that lasts until mid-afternoon. Anoro also gives me constipation and shortness of breath (unless my COPD got worse and causes it), and walks of an hour are a thing of the past."
