I've just been given Spiriva to replace steroid inhaler. Do any of you use it?

I did. It seemed to work ok. Had to have a turbohaler as well morning and evening. Was using for nearly 2 years. Consultant wants me to try Trelogy Ellipta. Which I have in but I worry about change. Does any one get any problems when they first used it. Didnt have any problems with spirivia.but do want to give it a try.

Which steroid inhaler did you have previously? I have Spiriva but I also have a steroid inhaler (Seretide)

Yes, no problems at all but now changed to Braltus (cheaper I think) but still ok. Good luck with it.

Hi

Been on it for a long time and have had no bad side effects, it helps my lungs and haven't had as many infections this year touch wood. Hope it works for you.

I was using it for quite a while with Fostair and got unreally well. However i recently had an appointment with a C.O.P.D. consultant who changed me over to Trimbow as it was simpler, and I am getting on well with that now, Trying them! all!!
