I'm on my 2nd month of Incruse Ellipta. It seems to be helping me more than any of my other inhalers. I continue to use Advair Discus 250 along with a rescue inhaler of Albuterol when needed.

Caused fingers and toes to go numb, Sprivia does they same thing. Pulmonogist said they have had quite few complaints about it.

This inhaler, which I used in October 2023, has ruined my sense of taste. Three ENT doctors have been unable to help me. I have had an MRI and tests of nose, ears, throat. All normal. Sense of smell is not affected. Nothing tastes as it should. Saltiness and sweetness don't register. Haven't had desserts in months.

In less than a month, Incruse Ellipta wrecked my sense of taste. Two doctors have been no help in restoring it. The problem has persisted for six months and I wonder if it will last forever.

My wheezing has stopped. Cough has decreased immensely. I don't notice any side affects. I'm more than happy with it.

I tried it for a year ---and did not notice any improvement in my breathing at all. Although I seemed to get thicker phlegm that was harder to get up. I laid off it for 6 months and didn't notice any difference except phlegm got thinner and easier to cough up. Laid off it for another 6 months and although my breathing did not have any change---I decided with my doc to try it again. I've been using it again for several months now----and once again I notice zero improvement from it's use. So in my case the end result seems to be zero value.Read More Read Less

thickening of phlegm, breathing is fine still feel like i'm not getting enough air when i take walks. i've noticed when i'm able to cough up anything its hard like gummy worms. i've been treated for lung infections that didn't help, doctor said it must be viral, i said yeah for 2 years you're out of your tree. but to end this, i ran out of incruse while i was gone for a month, all i was using is advair, my lungs started clearing up or loosening up and breathing while walking got better. time to change meds.Read More Read Less

My throat hurts so bad from this medication, like glass or knives cutting my throat. Awful medication and ineffective, should be taken off the market.

I was forced to switch to the medication after using Spiriva Capsules for 10 years, with no breathing problems and few side effects. This medication is useless and has nothing but side effects. Severe chest and sinus congestion. Im extremely short of breath, light headed and fatigue.

Took Spiriva successfully for six years, then Medicare dropped it and had to take Incruse. Terrible drug - breathing is worse, can barely walk from living room to kitchen and constantly am clearing throat ( no mucus though ). Also need to use oxygen more frequently.

Incruse has improved my breathing but has also left me with a terrible sore throat and esophagus. I gargle with salt water or Listerine but it has little affect. Drinking any hot beverage is painful. Also, I've headaches most days. I've been taking it for a little over a week. I'm concerned it may be doing damage to my esophagus.

This medication doesn't do anything for me, I check my oxygen levels several times throughout the day and I never get above the low 80's with this. I had another drug that worked great but the insurance company won't cover it anymore.

Phlegm has become very thick. Non-productive cough. Constant feeling of having to hack up a lung. Sore throat. Burning sensation in throat every time I use inhaler. Did I mention the incredibly horrid taste? Like I just vomited! Hard to wash away with water.
