Avatar m tn 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?
Avatar n tn 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.
584681 tn?1218264788 I have the same thing mostly on outside of thighs and tiny on outside of arms. (My baby is 7 mos old. I am still nursing.) I say the dermatologist and she was no help. "don't scrub, b/c it could make it drier," Don't pick, like I did, because you make it worse. I think it is hormonal, paired with sensitive skin and have been told it will go away.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar f tn 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?
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn Can anyone of you explain me whats the implication is?
Avatar f tn hi, anyone has switched between the above two brands for Hep B treatment? any implication if switch from e.g. Viread to Tenvir during the course of Hep B treatment (former USA vs latter India).
Avatar f tn I do believe if she has this operation, and recovery takes place in a nursing home, this will be the end of her acive life as it is now. I know she understands what is being said around her, and I think she has agreed to the operation but at 61 I still feel 17, and I don't think she realises the implication.
Avatar m tn Hello. My boyfriend at the age of 18 made manipulative - demonstrative suicide attempt, suicide gesture to influence his friends. I am constantly thinking about his future. Local psychiatrist told me that there is nothing to worry about, he is absolutely healthy boy. No psychiatric condition has been detected in my boyfriend's case. I constantly think that he is going to kill himself. I have OCD. Is it OCD or intuition telling me this. Opinions are welcome.

Avatar m tn With viral shedding there are NO visible symptoms but the virus is shedding and so it can be transmitted just the same as when there are lesions. However... the implication from the statistics, descriptions and anecdotal evidence, is that when there is NO outbreak and NO viral shedding, then there the virus can NOT be transmitted... is that true?
Avatar f tn The one serious implication could be "Bleeding esophageal varices" if you also have some of the following symptoms: Vomiting or coughing up blood Red or dark stools Low blood pressure Lightheadedness Rapid heartbeat Note: not all of these symptoms must be present. This is a possible consequence of chronic Hep C infection. In the event you don't have any other abnormal symptoms, then it's a wait and see situation.

Avatar f tn We do not have a good understanding of what this means. We understand that the cancer had spread to the lymph nodes but are wondering what implication the note has to it.

Avatar n tn I don't understand the implication that you have liver disease. Recent data argues that pregnancy is not a contraindication for flu vaccination. Interestingly, your antibodies will protect the baby fora while also.
