Both my brother and I have COPD. We live in different states, and when comparing notes, find we are on the same inhalers. We use Advair 250/50 twice a,day and Spireva in the morning, 2 puffs. My pulmonologist told me today that in 6 months, i will be taken off one of the inhalers! I also take Atrovastatn at night. Even though I'm 75 and don't have high cholesterol, i have had a stent implant and this med might help prevent plaque. What kind of side effects are you experiencing? Is your Dr open to trying other inhalers?
