what is tiotropium?

I have been to the Doc's with what I thought was a throat infection but I was wrong, the symptoms are a tight constricted throat with the feeling of a lump and shortness of breath, my friend suggested it may be anxiety which is more than likely. I have been prescribed tiotropium inhaler, the only other one I have is Salbutamol, does anyone have experience of tiotropium please.

thankyou

Yes, it's usually known as Spiriva - spiriva.com/ - lots of us seems to use it ;)

Tiotropium bromide is brand name Spiriva.

Many here using Spiriva, I find it very helpful and do not have side affects.

Hope you find this med works well for you too.
