Can Spiriva And Breo Ellipta Be Discontinued Abruptly?
I have COPD. Dr. has me on Spiriva and Breo Elipta as well as O2. I am in the doughnut hole. With the Spiriva and Breo Elipta Costing $150 each and 2 pain medications at $150 each I can not afford these being on SS. If I can stop the Spiriva and Breo will increasing my O2 be sufficient ? I am on 1liter daytime and 2 liter at night.

Hello,
It’s better for most of the medication to be withdrawn to give time to the body for better results.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
