Hi. What makes you think that your meds are for COPD?

[scobbie1 in reply to mrsmummy]

It says on the leaflet

[scobbie1]

Spiriva 18 and carbocisteine

[mrsmummy in reply to scobbie1]

Carbocisteine is given for a variety of conditions whilst Spiriva is usually prescribed for people with Copd. But the only person who can determine what you have and why you were given this medication is your doctor. It would perhaps be best to go back and ask him about it?

[mrsmummy in reply to scobbie1]

People can guess what he meant but he is the only one who would know.

Hi, I have asthma and I take carbocystine morning and evening, it help stop the flem sticking to your lungs and i used to take spiriva but as mrsmummy you doctor who prescribed you the medication should have explained what he was giving it to you for as there are lots of lung condition some have similar treatments to others but I would rather the doctor explained what his diagnosis was ,floppy tubes and doctors Wonderwhy people look up symptoms and ailments on the Internet.

Sorry to rant, I am not any help with your question.

Good luck hope you are feeling better soon
