For COPD, Maintenance "It works for me, but there are too many blanks. At least 4 out of 10 are blanks. I got in touch with the company, they're going to look into this matter."

For COPD, 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!"

For COPD, 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."

For COPD, Maintenance "If a dosage has been missed, I can feel the difference within twelve to eighteen hours. I work a physical day, and if not for Spiriva and my Salbutamol inhaler, I wouldn't last a few hours."

For COPD, Maintenance "Worthless for COPD. Found using inhaler more, and price was unreal. No idea why my doctor would prescribe to me, unless he is getting a cut on the cost."

For COPD, Maintenance "Incessant dry cough, sore irritated throat, blood in throat excretions, quite a shame as I feel breathing was a little easier. I lasted 4 weeks, no more as side effects outweighed benefits."

For COPD, Maintenance "I run out each month early. It does not give you 60 puffs. I pay $30.00 per month, and it’s not worth it. I run out a week early. I guess I’ll start doing one puff every other day."
