A New drug that treats COPD has been cleared by the US Food & Drug Admin.Anyone know anything about this drug?
"It combines a drug similar to
Spiriva
and a [long-acting beta agonist] as found in Advair, he said. "There is no steroid in Anoro Ellipta."

Spiriva and drying effect on the body
I have recently started using
Spiriva
, which is brilliant..but I have noticed it makes my mouth very dry. I have also noticed it seems to have decreased the amount of mucous I now produce. Does anyone know if the
Spiriva
dries up the mucous too?

Spiriva supply problem
There's been a brief interruption to the supply of tiotropium refill capsules - stocks should be back in most pharms from tomorrow. So if you've got a script in for them and there has been a delay, that'll be why. You may also find that you receive a full handihaler + refill pack rather than just a

Every one who is on spiriva..........
please be aware that there is a manufacturing problem and pharmacies are recommending that people contact their GP for an alternative when they need to renew their prescription.

Eklira Genuair Daxas
Please does anyone know the benefits of Eklira Genuair as opposed to
Spiriva
- is it better or the same? AND: Daxas - Has anyone got experience of this tablet? My Consultant said there are side effects and one of them is weight loss and I am too thin already.

Preventers are the most important seretide,

My first specialist took 1 look at my CT and breathing results and said, 'well I give you 3 years at best' prescribed me
spiriva
and serentide and sent me on my way!

How to approach GP
The problem I have is that everything they give me (high dose ICS,
Spiriva
etc.) helps but I am still symptomatic. Having had much more severe asthma in the past and then going back to just Symbicort SMART, makes me think that much more can be done but I think this needs more meds.

Spiriva
I have been given
Spiriva
Handihaler which appears to be helping and my breathing has improved. I have read that
Spiriva
can cause weight gain in some people. What are your experiences with this and are there any other side effects taking this inhaler.? Vivxx

hello again and thank you all
I explained what the BLF nurse had said and that I would like a CT Scan to clarify exactly what's going on with me, also that I wasn't getting on very well with my
Spiriva
inhaler, two days later I have a new inhaler to try and a referral to see a consultant at the hospital, all thanks to you all :-)

Phyllocontin questions
Let's hope it works -the
Spiriva
seems good, on the basis that I really notice if the bloody Handihaler stops working (great drug, not convinced by device). Sorry for ramble, brain reallly not working atm hehe.

Palpitations with Atrovent/Spiriva vs Ventolin
My cons had me taking Atrovent for preference over Ventolin; he was considering
Spiriva
if I am still not controlled after this pred course of 4 weeks. Then when I was admitted a few weeks ago the resp reg decided to start
Spiriva
anyway (and is emailing my cons).

Atrovent and Spiriva?
Hi, My gp has just changed me over to
spiriva
to take once a day from atrovent 4 times a day. Was wondering whether anyone has any experiences as whether it has helped get more control? I have been told that the
spiriva
replaces atrovent as it is a long acting version of the same drug.
