I take ANORO it has little to no steroids , it's proven that steroids really doesn't help COPD . Ilive in Ont. Canada ad was switched from the roads to ANORO and I'm feeling a bit better with ANORO, not as moody , don't get upset as quick , like I have more patients than on the inhalers with steroids . A lot easier on family members . Ask your doctor about ANORO could help you deal with different (crap )

@A MyCOPDTeam Member, I certainly believe you. In fact I was shocked when you first told me that Salbutamol is a steroid! I haven't yet found anyone else who uses the powder version. Thanks for your input.

No Salbutamol is not a reliever, so no good for breathlessness but it is a steroid that strengthens your immune system and it is important that you take it daily.as well as your spray.

I used Sumbicort for about 5 years, then Doctor changed to Ultro-Breeze inhaler once a day. Haven't noticed much difference.
