use it twice daily. not once

I have taken Ohtuvayre and there were positives increased energy and stamina but also some issues with back pain that improved once I discontinued the med. This was my experience but I am a believer that our bodies and how we tolerate medication is unique to the individual. I’m in late stage emphysema so I’ll try almost anything that may help but that’s just me. Good luck. Sent from my iPhone

Ohtuvayre (revefenacin) is a long-acting bronchodilator delivered via nebulizer once daily. It belongs to a class of medications called anticholinergics, which work by relaxing the airway muscles to make breathing easier.
It's worth noting that Ohtuvayre is a nebulized medication, meaning it's delivered as a fine mist through a machine rather than a traditional inhaler. This can actually be easier to use for some people since no special breathing technique is required. Trelegy already contains three medications in one inhaler:
- Fluticasone (a corticosteroid)
- Umeclidinium (an anticholinergic/bronchodilator)
- Vilanterol (a long-acting bronchodilator)
Since Ohtuvayre is also an anticholinergic, it's worth having a conversation with the doctor about how it would work alongside Trelegy, as both target similar airway mechanisms. Always check with the prescribing doctor before making any changes to a current medication routine.
