spiriva
I know its lisenced for copd but Ive been reading that it is useful in difficult asthma to control breathlessness, Ive been taking for several years and its enabled me to reduce my inhaled steroids from HUGE doses to minimum dose, cut my exacerbation rate & increased my exersice tolerance. Are there

Spiriva
is drug of choice for COPD.

New user - Spiriva/tiotropium and a locum doctor
Instead she's given me
Spiriva
/tiotropium to take on top of Seretide. Is this drug often prescribed for asthma? The leaflet etc. is all about COPD, and it's not something that any doctor has mentioned to me before.

Glory be! A doctor that listens to you!
To go back next week for spirometry test plus he'd like me to go for chest x-ray to see what is going on in there, as he put it, with a view to putting me on
Spiriva
to ward off future bronchitis. The man's a god.

SPIRIVA INHALER
I have just been seen at the asthma clinic today and taken of my Ipratropriom inhaler and put on
Spiriva
. All the stuff on the internet says that it is not generally prescribed for asthma. Has anyone else been prescribed this and if so what have been the results / problems. Thanks in advance

Atrovent vs Spiriva
Anyway- having picked up yet another lovely chest infection- my 2nd in 3 weeks- it was decided that giving
spiriva
another go was potentially beneficial. So now I have rambled my question is- Is there any evidence either way to indicate whether
spiriva
or atrovent is more effective in asthma?
