COPD - what is best symbicort or spriva?

29 Jul 2009

Well my father was diagnosed in February with COPD and immediatly started taking Spriva. I personally think it has done wonders. He gets around a lot better & can breath a lot better. Before he could hardly move without having a coughing attack & needing to sit down. When I picked up his prescripiton for this the pharmacist told me he has heard nothing but great responses about Spriva.

This is just a comment but I am on both symbicort and spriva and have not needed bricanyl for my COPD.

I have moderate COPD and found that Advair worked better for me than Spriva. My doctor gave me samples of Spriva to try twice but I didn't find any improvement over Advair. My doctor did say that most patients did find Spriva to be helpful.

I was diagnosed with COPD in 2002 I have been taking Spiriva and Symbicort since then, and I am convinced that Spiriva helps me the best, also Symbicort reacts with my blood pressure medicine which is Diovan HCT.
