has anyone tried this newly reasled drug yet? it was fda approved last year,and was finally made avavabilbe to the public (Phone number can only be seen by MyCOPDTeam users),
@A MyCOPDTeam Member HI, yes, I have been using Stiolto Respimat since Sept of 2015 I use it along with Spiriva Respimat I`ve had no problems with it and I think it is a good med. for C.O.P.D.
Stiolto did not work at all for me. I was on Breo and Incruse and dr and I tried to get onto only 1 inhaler. Well after 2 weeks on Stiolto I was wheezing and very short of breathe. I am back on the Breo and Incruse now for 5 days and can already feel difference. I wish Ii never switched to Stiolto it ruined my Christmas as i was unable to shop bake cookies or enjoy my 2 1/2 year old Grandson. Christmas is in 3 days i just hope i can at least enjoy Christmas Day with my family. My advice is if a medication is working for you don't change as i am still short of breathe and ut ruined my Chridtmas
The drug was approved by the FDA late last May and I used it beginning in July. It was available to the public long before last month. I switched to Spiriva and Advair because I needed the IHC in Advair. Stiolto was good, but I needed the IHC, which it didn't have. Many people have found Stiolto to be a good match for them.
