Experiences with

Spiriva

Just had my copd review by telephone consultation and the nurse has changed my fostair and spiriva to trimbow as she though it might improve my wheezing. I started it yesterday and am really struggling today. Has anyone else experience of trimbow and does it take time to 'kick in?

I also take Spiriva respimat and symbicort with a reliever Salbutamol. Many thanks.

I'm currently on 40mg steroids (due to the reaction) and will start weaning tomorrow, fostair 200/6, spiriva respirmat and ciclesonide. I can't take montelukast as it causes anxiety.

Hi all, I am currently using 2xfostair morning ; 2xfostair evening and spiriva 1xday. I am working in two shifts (one week in morning and other one after noon). I have a question about taking fostair when I am working morning shift.

I tried Fostair, Symbicort, Seretide, Flutiform, Spiriva respimat. Nothing helps me. I have to take ventolin 2-4 times a day. I have shortness of breath and my chest is wheezing. Two days ago I had a meeting with a consultant and he said that he couldn't write anything new for me.

Today my doctor prescribed an additional spiriva respimat inhaler. Do any of you also have such a set of inhalers and after how long did your asthma improve? Thanks in advance for all answers.

Thyroid hormones- everything fine Psychiatrist- told me that I have anxiety problems (since I have some family issues) but that I dont need any medication for it Pulmonologist- Says that it is Asthma and she give me Fostair 2x twice a day+1puff if needed and Spiriva respitam 2x once a day.

I also take dulera 200 inhaler, spiriva, montelukast, xyzal. When I’ve checked my peak flow meter it has been between 275 and 325. My usual medium low is 375, my regular is 450. Thoughts? should I keep using my home treatments? Call in? Urgent care? Online doc?

My consultant said he'd like me to try this medication out as an add-on treatment, how do you find it if you're on it?

I am already on a maintenance dose of prednisolone whilst I am waiting for biologics, I take spiriva, fostair, montelukast, cetrazine and beconase, so thought I had seen most symptoms by now, but obviously not? Sorry for the long post, would really appreciate any feedback, thank you 😞

This has not been discussed with me and I’m quite shocked to realise this (perhaps I’m being naive and it should have been obvious with the amount of inhalers I’m on …..sirdupla, spiriva respimat and regular courses of prednisolone I have.) it states on the card I’m at risk of adrenal crisis.

P.S I take Spiriva, Flutiform, and Alvesco. I'm doubled up on inhalers and have been for 2 weeks.

I am also on Spiriva Respimat 2 puffs morning, as well as ipratropium (Atrovent) and salbutamol via nebuliser 3-4 times daily (as well as other asthma meds). I have been told that these are ok to continue.

I get up at 5:30 am, I take the Spiriva at 10:00 am I do not need the reliever until midday I take one puff of Fostair at 2:00 pm and the other at 2:30 pm. I then need then reliever at 9:00pm. Then back to the nighttime dose of Fostair at 11:00 pm again.

Hi everyone I just wondered has any of you been gaven a inhaler called spiriva respimat? I not tried it yet going to later today. It says asthma and I am concerned as i have copd not asthma. How did you get on with it?does it help your breathlessness?

Having been on seretide 250mg for a good few years, as well as added in spiriva respimat, fexofenadine, montelukast and nasal spray (recent change to dymista), have been switched onto fostair 100/6 MART. According to my plan, its 2 puffs twice daily, plus an extra 4 as and when.

I know that Ipratropium is a similar drug to my spiriva, and the asthma nurse said I shouldn't need both but it's not impossible to be on both. But, I tried not taking my spiriva for 2 mornings, but by the third morning, I felt really rough and my chest felt really heavy.

I have had my inhalers changed to Spiriva once a day and my seretide disk inhaler changed to puffer inhaler so I can use my spacer. I have now been seen at the hospital and they have recommended I see the physio and try some breathing exercises They are thinking it may be pollen related .

I suffer with a constant cough that is very difficult to control, I take Fostair 200/6 x2 puffs twice daily with Spiriva, Ventolin and Montelukast as well as antihistamines.
