Last week .Apr.09 2015,my doctor gave me a months sample of Spirevas new product ....Spireva Respimat. It's the same ingredients as the regular powder capsule Spireva except it dispenses a measured dosage in MIST form as opposed to irritating Powder. I've been taking it for a little over a week now and have noticed I don't cough my head off anymore when I take it. Ask your Doctor about it. Also he prescribed me N.A,C, capsules (To be swallowed)Best to Google it and read what it says better… read more
I use NAC along with azithromycin on M, W, and F and I've been "cough free" for over 15 months. I definitely am a NAC believer! Still have SOB, but at least I can eat, sleep, socialize a little and attend church without "coughing my head off"!
My dr. Ordered the NAC too. Took it for about two weeks, and stopped, I don't remember why though. Maybe I will start taking them again. Have you taken them yet? The info that I read made them sound like a miracle drug. I take so many meds, I have to have it checked out for interactions. Pain in the neck. Good luck with it, I hope it helps. The new Spiriva looks interesting. Have to ask pulmonologist about it for my use. Hugs
How I would love to be cough free............I often stay home from church so I won't disturb others' with my constant hacking cough......I will ask my Dr. about this. Thank You.
