Experiences with

Tiotropium

I was on a tiotropium inhaler powdered capsules but have been changed to the spiriva respimat fine mist inhaler. When I release the mist while breathing in it immediately makes me cough so basically nothing goes in. Has anyone else had this and does it settle?

Tiotropium is an inhaled drug designed for COPD, but has been noted to help some asthmatics. So armed with the papers, I met my GP who was happy to prescribe it. It took a week or so to see a difference after starting, and about 2-3 weeks to be completley effective. But...Wow!

I am on Seretide, Tiotropium, Azithromycin 3x week، Montelukast omeperazole, Prednisone 10mg . I have noticed that my heart rate spikes around 101 bpm after using seretide and does not go away 3-4 hours after its use, and after meals. ECG is perfectly normal.

My asthma is the worst it's ever been anything sets it off, I had to go to the doctors again today and good job I did needed yet another inhaler I'm on fostair, tiotropium and salbutamol now so yeah alot and the prednisolone tablets so hopefully this should help clear up what ever is aggrevating my breathing

Influenzae, AF mold is negative MTb is also negative I’ve been taking Seretide 25/250, Tiotropium revolizer, Montelukast, Beclomethasone nasal spray, Azithromycin on an alternate days, Moxifloxacin has been completed for the exacerbation, Prednisone is continued I just wanted to introduce myself

My medicine for copd as just been changed from fostair and Braltus tiotropium to Trimbow ,3 days of using Trimbow and my breathing is not improving at the moment,do I persevere,and if so how long does it take to get fully into your system

hi everyone, I use Fostair and salbutamol, alongside tiotropium. My hands have been so shaky and sore since flare up which was in November. This makes my hands hard to use and very painful. Has anyone else experienced this? Any suggestions on how to support the pain and shakiness?

For example, Spiriva contains tiotropium while Stiolto Respimat contains tiotropium bromide and olodaterol and is a once-daily inhaler available to COPD patients. This treatment relaxes muscles in the airways to improve breathing, but it should not be used to treat asthma.

To cut a very long story short I was refered to virtual ward that starts Monday and now take 3 different inhalers and high dose steroids ( now on salbutamol, symbicort and tiotropium. Feel so much better already!!

Stopped the mucadene and reduced tiotropium intake to just when not well or peak flow dipped. Sept 2022 it all kicked off again: two weeks of pred and doxycylcline to kick a chest infection. Dec 2022, same again and took about a month to get over.

hi I have just been prescribed a Braltus inhaler of tiotropium bromide for COPD . I am worried about side effects as I have paroxysmal atrial fibrillation and am worried it may trigger an attack of AF. Has anyone any experience of using this medication . Thank you

Im on relvar 184/22, ciclesonide, montelukast, uniphyllin, tiotropium and salbutamol nebs ( not needed in 3 months). Any help would be grateful just wish i could get to speak to someone frustrated and scunnered. Thanks

has been Atrovent or Spiriva, essentially depending how I’m feeling 😂 I’m 24 lol I wanted my medication to look cool when I was a bit younger, what can I say 🤷‍♂️ So even though I don’t have a diagnosis, I have been consistently on an ICS, LABA, and LAMA (fluticasone, salmeterol, and ipratropium/tiotropium

Usually fairly well controlled on Fostair, Qvar and Tiotropium. However, woken up wheezy/coughing last 4 nights, and had a few attacks during the daytime. Increased inhalers as per plan, and using spacer for salbutamol but want some advice on what to do over the bank holiday weekend.

(I take Fostair x2 morning and evening plus 2 puffs of Tiotropium). All the very best, Matthew

I was offered an alternative called Tiogiva which I have never heard of but, on Googling, appears to contain the same amount of tiotropium bromide as Spiriva capsules. Has anyone used Tiogiva? Can Boots just supply alternative without GP say-so? Thanks for reading.

got infection in left lung .3weeks of steriods and 2weeks of antibiotics later x-ray show in fiction no different .going to do a CT scan .IV been unstable asthma for years .consultant wants to put me on nucala injections it's a biologic every 4weeks I fit the cryteria.im on relvar Ellipta high dose .tiotropium

They are: Flutiform, Symbicort, Tiotropium (Sprivia respimat), Striverdi respimat. Thanks!

Tiotropium is a preventer drug, not a reliever! However ipratropium (atrovent) which is the same class as tiotropium can be used as a reliever, however you shouldn’t use tiotropium and ipratropium at the same time.
