Am new to this post, a couple of weeks ago I read some comments about Speriva, I ran out of time and couldn't finish it. It was mainly about how people found it dried out their skin. I have been diagnosed recently with COPD so I am a novice so far, but I am trying to find out as much as I can. I had a huge cough for 5 months was treated with 5 different lots of antibiotics was then send to a respiratry specialist who determent that I do not have sleep apnia but I still have this bad cough, I need to treat it myself as the Dr's don't have any answers. I also am not the brightest with a computer.

I take Spiriva and it doesn't dry out my skin. I think we're all different and react differently to things. I can't tolerate any inhaler that is pressurised as the propellant causes me major problems, and I have side effects with any inhaler containing Salbutamol, also steroid inhalers yet a good majority of people are OK with all of these.

Thank you I have started inhaling it again, it sometimes is better to listen to other people who have actually experienced the same thing then a Dr. who has very little time to have a conversation. Thank you
