All my health professionals state rinse mouth right after spiriva it can cause bacteria and other ailments. Like alot of people said rinse mouth and should do that with all inhalers and nebulizers. I am on zithromax too and nebulizer and rinse after use.

You have to clean your mouth with water inmediately after the spiriva

@A MyCOPDTeam Member you should rinse mouth after inhalers and nebulizers but as always talk to your healthcare provider and make sure that is the cause as I am not a healthcare professional but can only give my experiences and what my doctor told me.

I'm glad that it was helpful, Its just a shame we have to fine alot of these things out threw other people with the same promble's that we have... It would be so much nicer if the doctors would tell us about theses things but that would make them lose bussiness if they told us about other things that really helps instead of us butting a banaide on a deep cut. So Most doctors are in the back pockets of big companys , gining us stuff to feel good but not to cure it.

I was never told to rinse after Spriva and ticked off as I am faithful about gargling after using Symbicort twice per day which I was strongly warned about...I have emergency inhalers but never used them even when badly out of breath and maybe I am stupid?
