Spiriva HandiHaler (tiotropium) for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, Maintenance: Spiriva has greatly reduced my wheezing and congestion, in addition to increasing lung capacity. So I guess you can say that Spiriva is just what the doctor ordered!!

Spiriva HandiHaler (tiotropium) for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, Maintenance: I came off this drug 6 days ago by forgetting to re-order over a public holiday. My general breathing actually improved (my wife would verify this). I will discuss with my doctor at our next meeting.

Spiriva HandiHaler (tiotropium) for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, Maintenance: Very effective but side effects far outweigh the benifits. Severe gastric distress was the main one that got worse as time went along.
