People with COPD breathe better with SPIRIVA.
If you have a history of smoking and breathing
problems, it could be COPD (chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease). COPD includes chronic
bronchitis, emphysema or both.
Ask your doctor about SPIRIVA, because it:
Is the only once-daily. inhaled maintenance
prescription treatment for both forms of COPD
Significantly improves lung function by keeping
airways open
Helps you breathe better for a full 24 hours
Is not a steroid
You are encouraged to report negative side effects
SPIRIVA does not replace fast-acting inhalers for
sudden symptoms. Do not swallow the SPIRIVA
capsule. The most common side effect of SPIRIVA
is dry mouth. Others include constipation and
problems passing urine. Tell your doctor about
your medicines, including eye drops, and illnesses
like glaucoma, urinary and prostate problems.
These may worsen with SPIRIVA. If you have
vision changes, eye pain, your breathing suddenly
worsens, you get hives, or your throat or tongue
swells, stop taking SPIRIVA and contact your doctor.
