Been using for 3 weeks now and Iâ??m waking up in the middle of the night itching really bad and it is causing major constipation as I already have UC and IBS. This was the 5th medication I have tried and seem to have a allergic reaction to everything. Iâ??ll be letting my doctor know asap

Dr. prescribed this in hopes it will help the COPD. I've already got arthritis, dizzy from other meds, bad prostrate, vision problems. Other than that, I feel great!

I agree that the delivery system sucks big time.

I agree that the delivery system sucks big time. The lack of the capsule rattling as it should in the Handihaler, I have found, is typically due to either (1) broken capsule pieces remaining in the device after use or (2), as others have pointed out, the entire top breaking off the capsule in the device. I did discover something that appears to make a difference. Of course, I check for stray bits of capsule with every use but I have found that making sure the capsule goes into the Handihaler with the large end DOWN improves the performance of the device. I have been watching this for about 3 weeks and have had no problems with the capsule in the apparently right, large end down, position. In that period I have two "no rattle" applications; on both I checked to find the large end was up. It may be coincidence but it might work for others.
