Spiriva Respimat And Symbicort Which Should I Take First
A MyCOPDTeam Member asked a question 💭

Not having a regular doctor doesn't help much so hoping some ideas from here.
I take one dose daily of the spiriva and one dose twice a day of the symbicort.

Which one do most take first? Any advantage of one over the other? Or does it make any difference?
