Tudorza

[rmfields]

Is anyone using Tudorza , or heard about it? I was given it in the place of Spriva. Since I have never heard of Tudorza before, I thought someone might know about it.

Hi rmfields one of the main side effects of this drug is a cough, if you have asthmatic cough or predominant COPD cough symptoms it may not be suitable for all or yourself. Someone on the site may have more experience of this drug and the links given are good too.

Yes. I tried it for two weeks and did not tolerate it well. BUT others that I know found it to be a good replacement for Spiriva and it had a cumulative effect for them as they felt better as time went by.

I think it caused an asthma flare up in me but it could be just me. I also did not go back to Spiriva. I'm still on Advair but will start a new combination of two new drugs to replace advair/spiriva therapy. I am a pretty active stage 4. Each person is different so you may do well. The delivery system was very good in my opinion as it did not require dealing with loading capsules into the handihaler spiriva device.

Good morning rmfields

I started using tudorza back in April of 2014. I had tried spirit a, but that made my breathing worse.( guess we are all different). I am stage 3 copd with asthma. I really breath better with the tudorza. I also take symbicort. My pulmonary function test improved as well. good luck trying it. If it doesn't work for you then you can always try other ones that are available. Hope this helps. barbara
