Yes, generally, it can take as much as six weeks to realize the benefit, and it's often very gradual. Sometimes people don't think it's doing anything because the improvement is so gradual. It's a maintenance med, just like your Spiromax, but a different class of med that used different receptors to work.

I didn't think spiriva helped me until I went a few days without it. Big difference. I take it everyday now.

@A MyCOPDTeam Member, I used Spiriva powder capsules for a long time, they helped me a lot. Then a couple years ago started using the spiriva respimat, like that better. I also use Seravant and rescue inhaler. Seems new meds take awhile to work, I always want everything to work yesterday. I need to practice having more patience. Good luck.
