Sorry for misspelled words in my last post.
If so what is the dosage and do you have any side effects from it?
@A MyCOPDTeam Member yep and no no real side affects
So I was on 50 mg for 5 days and then my doctor wanted to see what I like on a lighter dose as a taper for a couple weeks. I never felt better. I wasn't coughing up stuff and I was less breathless.
