Side Effects for Incruse ellipta (umeclidinium bromide)
The results are noticeable after long time use. My second spirometry test (2 months apart) noticed a significant increase in my lung capacity. And I noticed it also. But I didn’t notice much increase in the first month.
Seem to be loosing more hair than normal and no improvement whatsoever with breathing
Makes my chest feel heavy and hard to breathe.
Wasn't having symptoms in the first place except for some wheezing occasionally. Tastes terrible. I don't think I will continue this med. I don't feel it's necessary and why put this in my body if it's not needed?
Was given by respiratory nurse
Terrible sore and dry throat constantly coughing have stopped using it and throat has begun heal I manage with my symbicort200/6 and reliever
It does not help my shortness of breath. It is worse. My nose is dry but stuffy and bloody when I blow it. My tongue and mouth are very dry.
Coughing spells for about 20 minutes after taking it.
It worked great as far as breathing, but it had a severe drying effect on my lips and mouth. I had blisters in my mouth and splits on my lips. It also looked like I have a SEVERE CASE of chapped/windburned lips. No amount of medicated chapstick or lips balm helped!!
I have to choose between breathing and having so much pain i can hardly eat or drink!? Really unfair!
First the powder made my mouth numb... I took it once and felt like I was having a difficult time breathing so I didn't take it again. Ever since my chest has been tight and I'm having panic attacks. I was just diagnosed with COPD and never had symptoms or problems breathing until taking this.
I have been on spiriva for years and it works well for me. Blue cross/blue shield stopped paying for it so I was given Incruse. I have been so sick ever since. Non-stop coughing, sneezing, very tight lungs, hard to get air out, stuffy nose, not sleeping because of the coughing. It all started less than a week after starting Incruse.
Makes me feel like I'm going to have a seizure.
Don't feel safe to drive. I think this is a very bad drug. Going to tell my dr. To get me off of this med. Felt better on spriva but became allergic to it.

I never could tell any difference but kept taking it to follow doctor's instructions. I can't tell any difference--good or bad--so I'm going to quit taking it and see what happens. I wasn't having severe symptoms in the first place.
Does not help. The delivery system is not good. The powder goes in my mouth not down into my lungs. Has not helped my breathing. I was using Spiriva until Medicare cut if off and it worked well. Incruse ellipta is a. very Poor substitute.
Breathing is worse on Incruse Ellipta. Shortness of breath, tightness in chest, thick mucous. Spiriva wasn't working, so I switched to Incruse. It's just as worthless as Spiriva. I'll just use my Proair (Albuterol) 2x per day.
Shortness of breath became worse I also had asthma attack even though I was taking symbicort as well it just doesn't suit me
Works better than some of the other meds in its class.
INCRUSE ELLIPTA (UMECLIDINIUM BROMIDE): Umeclidinium is used to control and prevent symptoms (such as wheezing, shortness of breath) caused by ongoing lung disease (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease-COPD, which includes bronchitis and emphysema). It works by relaxing the muscles around the airways so that they open up and you can breathe more easily. Umeclidinium belongs to a class of drugs known as anticholinergics. Controlling symptoms of breathing problems can decrease time lost from work or school. This medication must be used regularly to be effective. It does not work right away and should not be used to relieve sudden shortness of breath. If wheezing or sudden shortness of breath occurs, use your quick-relief inhaler (such as albuterol, also called salbutamol in some countries) as prescribed.

Has greatly improved my quality of life. No more bladder problems and improved libido
I started taking Prpilosec OTC about 6 months ago to control occasional acid reflux because I noticed there seemed to be a relationship between acid reflux and my atrial fibrillation episodes. It controlled the acid relux very well so I continued to take it. Recently I noticed some swelling in my ankles, then started experiencing some joint pain. Last week I started having some severe stomach pain, headaches, and extreme fatigue which would start in the morning and last until evening when it would finally abate but would recur again the next morning. It suddenly occurred to me that there might be a relationship between taking Prilosec (which I always took in the morning upon rising) and the fatigue I was experiencing. I stopped the Prilosec and immediately the fatigue was gone and soon I didn't have the joint pain either. However, the stomach pain was worse than I have ever experienced in the past. I am hoping this rebound effect will not last long but from the sounds of it I may be in for a real battle.

I have been on a few different forms of birth control, and so far I like the NuvaRing the best. It doesn't alleviate my PMDD symptoms as much as YAZ did, but is far more effective in the alleviation it gives, because it is more consistently delivered than when I was trying to remember to take a pill daily. I have noticed that I have increased discharge, and increased sexual desire, and that it has changed my natural odor a bit. I have headaches, but those were present before I started on the Ring. As with all medical care and treatment one size does not fit all. Just because it does or doesn't work for me, doesn't mean it will or will not work for you. Best to consult your doctor.
My arthitis is so bad in my knee that I was having some problems trying to get through summer camp for football, but I got on Celebrex and I'm at least able to make it through practice without extreme pain.
