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.
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 I'm a plus size first time mom and im just sick and tired of the thoughtless of my doctor. I been having horrible back pain but because im plus size I get told to loose weight now mind you I have lost 13lbs so far and 23weeks.
Avatar f tn are there any plus size mommies on here? Around 300 pounds? I'm early in my pregnancy and I'm curious what my belly is going to look like, post a belly pic please!
Avatar n tn Out of curiosity, how accurate are the Quantasure Plus (serial) tests. At 6 months, my test said that <10 Iu/mL, means complete absence of HCV RNA, is that something you can take to the bank? Or should I get an antibody test to make sure?
Avatar f tn Has anyone ever heard of the Maternit21 plus and has taken it yet? My Sequential Screening came back positive last week. NT was 3.1 , hcg was on point gut the Pappa was a bit low. I opted out of the CVS and i don't want to go thru with the Amnio so i paid $475 for the Maternit21 plus. I am really curious if anyone on this site has taken it before? If so would you mind sharing your experience, thoughts or feedback. I took it Friday, so I have to wait 2 weeks for the results.

Avatar m tn This is the second time I have used frontline plus on my new cat. The first time , he was severly flea infested and was pulling his hair out. After applying the frontline he stopped this behavior. I applied it a day ago and now he is pulling out his hair again! Its been over a month since prior application.
Avatar f tn When I first went to the docs I was 105kg, ekkkkkkkk not good. I'm now 19 weeks and only put on 4kg, only cos midwife told me to watch what I eat, and to exercise a little, plus I've had morning sickness, so I'm not complaining at all. With my first I put on 30kg, don't reckon il be that crazy again.
Avatar m tn I'd been taking spasmocip plus by Cipla for 4 months. Initially it was like 4 caps a day but then in the later stage it increased to 8-16 caps a day. Ive quit since 3 weeks now. I dont feel the urge anymore. But Im palpitating with 90 beats/min and suffering for sleeplesness and excessive sweating. What do I need to do?
