    Had life long asthma that became out of control after living abroad in China, after trying a few medications I started Breo 200/25, which worked so well i moved down to Breo 100/25. I track my asthma, I can count the amount of times I use my rescue inhaler on my hands every year. Life changing.

    Started using the Breo inhaler on Feb. 15, 2020. After 2 weeks of daily use I'm discontinuing use on the advice of my doctor. I experienced chest tightness, palpitations, daily headaches, severe back pain, leg cramps, and sweating, No Relief from my Asthma symptoms noted. Wheezing and Shortness of Breath continued despite this medication. It wasn't a good option for me.

The Dr. Said I may feel a little worse before I felt better while the med was getting into my system, and did I ever.

    It worked great but after 2weeks of use I started getting sores in my nose, I used upto 6weeks and quit because I couldn't stand the dry scabs in my nose and they hurt like hell! Other than that though it did actually work great.
