I did give it a try but didn't do to much for me. I was hoping it would as it is an all in one and only once a day so would have been very convenient. I did some reading before trying it and it has shown good results for many so hopefully it will help you more than it did for me. If I remember correctly one of the components is Spiriva.

Good luck
