spiriva respimat

[jamesallison]

is anyone else on 2.5 spiriva respimat for asthma and what do you think of it.

I love it, been on braltus before it (same thing just powder form) its helped quite alot for me I spent a few days coughing up mucus... not massive amounts and not unpleasantly but it was moving mucus and helping me breathe easier

thank you that helps me alot.

No problem one thing I forgot to mention is the common sire effects... spiriva/braltus commonly causes a headache/sinus pressure headache it's quite common and usually goes away after a few days (if you do get it as a side effect)

i think im going to be on it for a long time. i have been needing to use my ventolin to much.im also on fostair. thanks for the reply.

It was a game changer for me and I was able to stop ventolin as a result. So I now just take one puff of Relvar in the morning and respimat at night along with montelukast. Asthma not wonderful but compared to how I was, it is so much better. Have had more sinus issues though I would say.

thankyou

It's such a stupid thing to say, but it was my life saver. I don't mean it saved my life but it gave me back my life. No more trips to A&E or the GP on nebulisers and being put on steroids. What seemed liked every few months. I take Qvar now too as the others Id tried caused too many side effects. I still do need help but no where near as much.

It was a lifesaver for me as well. I have been using it for many years and I would say it was the medication that made the biggest change and I got my life back.

[jamesallison]

thank you

Has helped me a lot. Seems to have a side effect that causes dryness in my mouth, especially at night.

thank you

First 2 days it was great, after that it seemed to stop working. I then read that it was banned in the states for a long time as it was linked to deaths in people with heart conditions. Which I have, so I stopped it.
