User Reviews for Breyna inhalation

Breyna was absolutely worthless for me. After insurance surprised .e without warning switching me to bryena my asthma was not controlled. I developed worsening symptoms daily within hours of the first dose. I used a rescue inhaler more than 10 times the second day. I normally do not use it once in 4 years. I went back on my remaining symbicort and symptoms cleared up in one day. I went back on breyna with the same result. Went back on symbicort a Second time and it cleared up once again. There is no doubt in my mind that breyna does NOT work at all. You can clearly see that it does not deliver the same level of medication. What little there is does nothing at all. I do not believe it works for anyone. The manufacturer also makes wixela inhub which also does not work. Viatris makes both worthless medications. These medications made me sick and nearly killed me. I could not breathe on this medication. I fear this medication will kill people. It is wasting the time and resources of medical facilities who have to write prior authorization and find alternatives for patients. Insurance companies which have no knowledge or qualifications to say what medications people should use are making that decision. They think this junk is as good as symbicort. For me and others it is not equivalent. The insurance companies make no effort, that I know of to determine the effectiveness of this a d other drugs. It is not less effective. For me it had no effectiveness what so ever. Read More Read Less

I have nothing good to say about my last couple of days using this medication. I was on symbicort, which has helped me tremendously. This is the first time using Breyna, which I did not ask for and it is worthless. It does not work. I am suffering terribly because it doesn't work and just paid a lot of money for it. I am contacting the pharmacy ASAP.

This Breyna inhaler almost killed me. My doctor prescribed for Aztrasynica or Symbacort .But the pharmacies (mail-in CareCVS and Rite-Aid) substituting with Breyna. I had this happened 5 times .Very hard

My prescription was modified to use this inhaler in lieu of the Symbicort inhaler I had been using to years. I find the inhaler to be childish in size and very suspect when it comes to the actual dispensing of the medication. I have run test upon test dispensing the medication into the air and noted that more than half of the time, no medication was dispensed but the count had been reduced. Reported to my pharmacist and they are changing the script back to Symbicort immediately. As a suggestion, check the inside of the dispenser and see if any white residue is present. After a week of using mine i went to clean as per the directions and unlike my Symbicort inhaler, there was no medicine residue. Read More Read Less

This dispenser is ridiculously difficult to use! The canister is barely above the lip of the dispenser. The slight dip is on the back of the dispenser, not on the side where it should be. Also, I have very bad arthritis in my fingers, making it extremely difficult to twist my hands and then exert enough pressure to press the canister. As a result I feel I don't get the full puff of medicine. This contraption should not be allowed on the market.

The medication is great, like Symbicort. But, the device itself really needs work. It is too tiny and difficult to hold, the mouthpiece cover is difficult to handle, and the numbers on the back need a magnifying glass to read. Please make it more Senior (geriatric) friendly.

This comes nowhere close to the effectiveness of Symbicort i had been using for many years.

I've only been using Breyna for 5 days. What a major improvement it has on my breathing!
