Roflumilast or Daliresp is a clinically proven treatment that can reduce the number of exacerbations in people with a big chronic bronchitis aspect to their COPD. Many of the digestive tract side effects can be avoided if you start with the 250 mg dose and then go up to the 500 mg dose after a month or two. If you're one of the people who have no side effects or who can work your way through them, it's extremely effective.

Have been for five years. Is it doing anything? Maybe preventing an exaserbation.

I was on Daxas 500 for a while but kept losing weight, 30 pounds in 3 months and on a 5'10" from at 165lbs I could not afford to lose weight. As soon as I stopped taking the Daxas the weight loss stopped. Apparently the Daxas burns calories in the way it works, too bad as I was feeling better using it, it kept the mucus moving.
