I have just started Daxas but the side effects even after a week were awful so I have discontinued.

I am on this I have no problem taking it now,anything to keep me from going to the hospital I will try. Was in the hospital 3x in 3 months.

Daxas is usually called daliresp in the US and rofumilast in the scientific community. It's designed to reduce mucous production in people with a big chronic bronchitis component to their COPD. By reducing the mucous, there are fewer places for infections to grow, and the person has fewer exacerbations, fewer trips to the hospital and actually has a chance to recover longer and more completely. The typical side effects are primarily digestive problems. People who didn't have those side effects, or were able to work through them have had very good results with the med. It's definitely worth a try!
