Common Questions and Answers about Tiotropium max dose

I take Spiriva Respimat (tiotropium bromide) 2.5 mcg/actuation, and Wixela (fluticasone propionate salmeterol inhalation powder) for my COPD. Is there a sequence I should be taking these meds in? Is there a time frame I should use between the two meds?
Yes, there are. Spiriva® HandiHaler® (tiotropium bromide inhalation powder) is one and Serevent® Inhalation Aerosol (salmeterol xinafoate) another. Each is a bronchodilator and capable of giving good relief of shortness of breath.
If from the lungs, you could be experiencing Spiriva® HandiHaler® (tiotropium bromide inhalation powder) withdrawal symptoms, depending on what type of lung problem was being treated with the Spiriva® HandiHaler® (tiotropium bromide inhalation powder). These symptoms, along with your arms feeling weak and heavy, could all be due to anxiety, but could also be symptoms of more serious disease of the heart or lungs. For that reason, you do need to see your doctor to sort this out.
This would include a long-acting bronchodilator, such as Serevent® Inhalation Aerosol (salmeterol xinafoate), Foradil® Aerolizer™ (formoterol fumarate inhalation powder) or Spiriva® HandiHaler® (tiotropium bromide inhalation powder) along with an inhaled steroid. Another potentially helpful, oral medicine is called theophylline. Your doctor may also want to prescribe this.
You should have your blood oxygen level checked, in case it is low and you would need supplemental oxygen.
I had been on Ambien for less than a year. Mostly 7.5mg a night max. When I went through vicodin withdrawal I upped the dosage to 10mg, which was my script max. I have had withdrawal symptoms galore. I got body jerks, metallic taste, no memory, disorientation, depression, anxiety, difficulty swallowing, breathing difficulty, panic attacks, vertigo, high to low BP... on and on. My dreams were vivid. The very slow taper and OTC drugs helped with the insomnia. Are you back on Lunesta?
So my doc says my cervix is really thick. So I started taking max dose of primrose orally about two weeks ago. And then 4 days ago started doing it vaginally before bed as well. If I've thinned by Monday he will induce me Tuesday. I'll be 39 weeks ftm. What do you guys think the odds are that I've started thinning?
Hello, what was your highest dose and a big congrats on stopping... I stopped at 3 mg after 10 yrs with a max of 100 mg and my worst withdrawals lasted 10 days then eased up but no sleep and rls lasted a good month. How fast you dropped and max dose to 10 will make a difference. I tried to stop at a higher dose but couldn't. We are all different but methadone has no favors. 3 months 3 yrs it will be very hard. Hang in there it does get better....
Spiriva® HandiHaler® (tiotropium bromide inhalation powder) has a maximum duration of action of about 36 hours. To be safe, you would want to be off the medicine for 48 to 72 hours before the spirometry. It would have been preferable, but not mandatory to do the pulmonary function tests (PFTs) at the time the diagnosis of chronic lung disease was made especially if the diagnosis was unequivocal. The other important question would be, “Why 3 CT scans, presumably of your lungs, in 16 months?
Cause of low DLCO and drop in it from test 1 to test 1? I am currently on tiotropium bromide and salmeterol/fluticasone propionate. My reason for posting this is one doc is pessimistic and the other highly optimistic.
Thank you.
Spiriva contains tiotropium bromide which is an anticholinergic bronchodilator. So, yes, both have action against acetylcholine recptors and both are efefctive bronchodilators. You can take any one of them.
Indacaterol is an ultra-long-acting beta-adrenoceptor agonist. So, it gives bronchodialation for a much longer time. It is a more recent drug so long term efficacy data are not available. However, available data does show a marked benefit in individuals with COPD.
Our five year old American Staffordshire Terrier had a dose of Iverhart Max (first time he took this) last Friday and Monday he started limping on his back legs. It has gotten worse every day. We took him to the vet yesterday (had to carry him into the truck) and when we got there I was getting ready to pick him up, but he mustered up enough strength to walk into the vets office by himself, so the vet said it was probably arthritis. This morning he could barely walk to go to the bathroom.
Usually when Psychiatrist refer to "maximum dose" they are refering to the maximum effective dose at which any more of the drug is simply never going to produce further theriputic results.
I know it sound as if it means "max dose" as in "that's the most you can take before the danger level" but that's not usually the case.
For example if the maximum effective dose of Effexor is shown to be 350Mgs a day.
However, consistantly taking more than the max dose of tylenol greatly increases your risk of liver damage or liver failure. You are way too young to be dabbling with exceeding the tylenol dose. Liver transplants do not come by easily at all especially to those that knew they were doing themselves harm.
Yes I agree with Barb, only weigh yourself once a day. The best time to weigh yourself is in the morning, before you eat anything and after you go to the bathroom. If you weigh yourself after you've been eating and drinking throughout the day, you weight will definitely fluctuate by a few pounds, but all that is is fluid retention and your undigested food!
Honestly, I don't recommend weighing yourself more than once a week. Twice max.
Hi, 20mg of Prozac is not so much i guess(for depression?), here in The Netherlands they would dose up max 200mg Prozac in 3 gfts a day with 50mg tablets. May be ask your doc to raise? But sometimes you do not feel it that the meds are working, ask the people around you if the stuff works, they would notice your behavour and emotions?
