I've been using Spiriva Respimat for about 10 years, and I don't have a breathing problem when I use it. Maybe you could check with your doc. It's possible it isn't working for you for some reason and need to change brands.

@A MyCOPDTeam Member; you should have stopped both spiriva and symbicort when you started using Breztri. Breztri is a three in one med; has a LAMA, a LABA and an ICS. Symbicort is a LABA and an ICS and Spiriva is a LAMA, so when you start using Breztri, you should stop BOTH Symbicort and Spiriva.

2ashNrell2; Incruse and Spiriva are both LAMAs. You can use one or the other with Advair, but not both.

Breztri works alot better for me than the spriva, it was a game changer for me

Everyone reacts to inhalers/medication differently. My suggestion would be for you to talk to your doctor or nurse. I have taken Spiriva off and on for about 4 years and I don't have a problem with it. But it is important for your doctor to be kept informed of any and all changes. Good Luck.
