A MyCOPDTeam Member asked a question 💭
St.Thomas, Ontario Canada

My resperolagist just changed my medication. I was talking Spiriva, 2 puffs 1x a day and Zenhale 2 puffs 4x a day. Now with Breztri, I'm taking 2 puffs 2x a day. He was very excited about Breztri and said that it will be a game changer, I'm hoping he's right. Please let me know your thoughts of it.....thanks

A MyCOPDTeam Member

I started on Breztri about 2 weeks ago and already see improvement. I don't know how long I'll be able to afford it but it does help.
