Spiriva (tiotropium) for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease -- Maintenance: I have been using Spiriva for 1 year now and I have been breathing far better and not having as many attacks as before I began using Spiriva. I find the product very easy to use and also more effective than most other drugs I used before. I have never had a problem with bits of capsule in my mouth or anything.

Spiriva (tiotropium) for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease -- Maintenance: I have been using spiriva for about 2 months. I find my breathing has greatly improved. I'm not using my albuterol several times a day anymore, maybe a couple of times a week. The only thing I have noticed is that I am getting severe muscle cramps in the front of my lower legs. This happens mostly at night when I go to bed. Has anyone else noticed this problem?

Spiriva (tiotropium) for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease -- Maintenance: I seem to have good results from Spiriva. However, I have some fears about inhaling pieces of the capsules. I have found small pieces of the capsule in my mouth.
