Do the Canadian inhalers work. I have thought about getting my Spriva there but so far had been advised against it so haven't done it. Do you notice any difference?

Is There Any Extra Help For People With Copd?
A MyCOPDTeam Member asked a question 💭

My husband found out last july he has copd. Doctors told him 7 years ago he had emphasema (excuse my spellings) he has a inhaler, & a few other tablets to take but they dont seem to work and his gp seems to fob him off (i feel its because he still smokes) but is there a copd nurse or someone that could advice us with further treatments?

We took my husband to a walk-in clinic today with symptoms of one of his regular UTIs, been down this road several times, but the nurse said she didn't like the sound of Bill's sinus cough and she diagnosed him with chronic bronchitis and ordered a steroid inhaler for him. After being in here for a few years, I got concerned about her DX. Thankfully, it had to be ordered by the pharmacy so I said, Hold off on that till I ask some more questions. Research showed me that a pulmonologist should be… read more
