Spririva

I am on fostair 200 and more recently spiriva.

In the morning, when I get up, I take my morning fostair puffs and then my spiriva puffs.

Has anybody experimented with whether it us best to take the fostair first or the spiriva first.

no idea but I take my spires at night only and symbicort at night and morning - it’s a bit random which is taken first at night and I wasn’t given any advice about timing - interesting question

I take spiriva last thing at night after seretide. I've taken this medication the same time for the past 12 years. A lifesaver for me. Fostair is used as a preventer and a reliever so you are probably doing it correctly.

I was always told to take my Spiriva at lunchtime. So I take my flutiform morning and night and Spiriva lunchtime. If I forget I just take it when I remember.

I take Spiriva first, then wait 10-15 min and then take my preventer inhaler.

Im on relvar and spiriva, use to take them both in the morning but noticed chest tightness late evening so they suggested taking spiriva at night to help with night time symptoms :)
