A lung specialist wrote a prescription for Brovana on my first visit in early December 07. In the past several years I have only used the treadmill in my bedroom to hang extra clothing. Within two days of using Brovana I was walking on my treadmill for a period of 15 minutes. I have tried various other inhalers including Duoneb, advair, Q-var, and albuterol with only minimal effectiveness. I am no...

Have used Brovana every day for about 9 years. No side effects or problems with my asthma or copd, chronic bronchitis. I have never felt better. When I used albuterol inhalers 4 times daily,I had bronchitis often. Now with Brovana, I rarely have any respiratory infections.

I have only been using this drug for 3 days. I have had very loose bowels, so I wasn't sure if it was from Brovana, or if it was something I ate. Another thing I have been experiencing is cramps in my hands and both knees. It is very painful, but I think it's coming from Lasix. I guess I had the cramps before I started using Brovana, but not loose bowels.

My doctor prescribed this to me and since I have been using it, I use my albuteral only occasionally. I am breathing better than I have in a long time.

This medicine has literally given me back my life. I would get COPD flareups which were exacerbated by seasonal allergies. I was prescribed Advair 50/100 which did seem to help for a while, but after I was diagnosed with some serious eye problems which probably came from the steriod I quit taking them. I was using the Proair inhaler but it was not effective. I had an ER visit followed by a visit with a Pulmonolgist. I had all the lung tests done and he prescribed the Brovana. It was difficult to find treatment that did not contain steroids so I am very lucky that it works so well. I have literally zip side effects from it. I use it in the morning before I go to work and then in the evening. I rarely use my Proair emergency inhaler. We live in Texas where there are seasonal allergies all year round and with the brovana I can make it through the whole day. I've been using it since Nov of 09 and it has been a definite lifesaver.

For my ashma this does nothing,the only thing that has ever helped is albutrol in the puff can, that cost 52.00 twenty years ago it was 4.95. This is all that has to be fixed in medicare.

I was totally incapacitated but within one day on Brovana my life had been given back to me. I rarely use my emergency inhaler. It had to be combined with Pulmicort which took away the moisture. Life is good again.

i do not have any experience, but I am in medical sales and it seems to be very effective with the drs patients. They have a lot of good to say about it.

able to breathe better and cleared bronchia faster than albuterol, also cleared bronchia passages of phlegm. Does not have the shaking after use that albuterol causes.
