from the start I had a choice given me of either Spiriva or the optional offered Genuair a greek one. The reason for my choice was that I found the Spiriva inhaler too small and dainty for my arthritic fingers even though the active stuff Aclidium Bromide was far better and more approved by my respiratory doc.

I have been changed to Braltus. Seems to be very similar but no probs with it.
