WHAT SPIRIVA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Spiriva helps people who have chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease (COPD) to breathe more easily. COPD
is a chronic lung disease that causes shortness of breath
and coughing. The term COPD is associated with the
conditions chronic bronchitis and emphysema. As COPD
is a chronic disease you should take Spiriva every day and
not only when you have breathing problems or other
symptoms of COPD.
Spiriva is a long-acting bronchodilator that helps to open
your airways and makes it easier to get air in and out of
the lungs. Regular use of Spiriva can also help you when
you have on-going shortness of breath related to your
disease and will help you to minimise the effects of the
disease on your everyday life. It also helps you to be
active longer. Daily use of Spiriva will also help to prevent
sudden, short-term worsening of your COPD symptoms
which may last for several days. The effect of this
medicine lasts for 24 hours, so you only need to use it
once
