Side effects... temporary?

Hi everyone,

Hope someone can advise....

tiotropium is causing tingling in my fingers and toes, should I continue taking it - with the hope it’s only temporary - or stop taking?

Also does anyone know of an alternative to this drug which is in Spiriva and Baltus.

Thank you

Dxx

Hi Dollysdream: You should call your doctor and ask him to change you to something else, there are plenty inhalers to choose from, I'm sure you can find the right one for you. I couldn't use Spiriva, it just didn't do anything for my breathing. not familiar with the other inhaler you have.

Not what you're looking for?
