User Reviews for Spiriva Respimat inhalation

I now have this weird cough, and its like there is something stuck back in the top of my throat.It never really gave me the full nice breaths I was getting on a prior medication. Im off to the drs to try something else.This weird cough is CONSTANT

Although high priced. This mist has been very effective in controlling my COPD and wheezing.

I have been monitoring my borderline high cholesterol levels all my adult life and have managed, with diet and exercise, to keep it under control.I am 76. I was diagnosed with copd last spring and prescribed Spiriva Resprimat. After two months on this drug all of my cholesterol numbers were elevated. Pulmonary MD says there are no studies to show the relationship, but I'd like to try something else. What would it be?

I used Spirive Handihaler for several years with good results, then lost my insurance and was not able to afford the over $300 a month, so tried Advair with good results but just recently was given Spiriva Respimat from the VA and have been using it now for a month and a half. And in the last month I have notice shortness of breath much more severe than before, I use to be able to get through most of the day without struggling for breath, but this last month has been extremely difficult. I prefer the Handihaler but I`ve heard it`s no longer available..I may go back to the Advair. Read More Read Less

I haven't been on this medication for very long but it has already helped me with my breathing problems. Of course, I have to use it alongside my Ventolin rescue inhaler for it to be effective. If I can get it down to just using one inhaler, that would be great.

I thought I was going to DIE! The reactions I had withing 24 hours, called the Dr, they told me the reactions weren't due Spiriva, I took for 3 more weeks and called back this time Dr said Stop, I'm having reactions. I still have Vision loss in my right eye, I was waking up in a pool of swet, swelling, felt like my head was going to explode. I filled out a form to the FDA about it. I Suffered severely on Spiriva.

Cannot believe the FDA approved this "new" med. Hard to put together, hard to turn, and stupid way to keep track of the doses..and the PRICE...really disgusting!! Very dissatisfied.

I have used the handihaler for almost 10 years. Can't get much easier to use than putting a capsule in the handinhler and breathing. The new respimat system in much TOO DIFFICULT to operate. I use many other inhalers and none are as frustrating as this one. Don't know why they changed it.

I have been using Spiriva for a couple of years, switched to the easier use about a year ago. The medication works well for me. But even with a prescription drug plan I find the cost to be out site. Medicare allows a set amount of drug cost per year, I find myself in the donut hole by August each year. MD looking for a drug I can afford.

Spirva Respimat is working for me but occasionally causes me to cough and I'm afraid I'm losing some of the dose. Is this common and is it o.k.? I have used Spirva Capsules for several years and just started the Respimat.

I used this product for years before they changed thedelivery system. Being older and with arthritis in my hands it is difficult for me to open and I feel that I get too much of the medication in my mouth. Prefer the handihaler.

Using this for Asthma. Seems to working good. Expensive $250+

I have had no bad reactions. Really helps with my breathing. Can not get through the day without it
