Has anyone heard of something that sounds like Byreeva? The doctor states "Byreeva as an outpatient." This is a patient suffering from COPD.

The drug may be Spiriva...

Spiriva (tiotropium inhalation) is used in the treatment of bronchospasm associated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) such as chronic bronchitis and emphysema.

I'm going to go back and relisten to the dictation but that sure makes sense. I appreciate the input. Thanks!

I am currently using Spiriva which is available at canadian drugstore as well as in the US, being distributed by Pfitzer, and with prescription only. It helps a lot and is convenient because one only needs 1 dose a day, instead of several inhalations of Atrovent. I am still having these mucus attacks though and perhaps someone can recommend a medication that curbs or stops them. Rudeck
