It was easy right away i felt the medicine i could breath without a wheeze. I hope it gets even better as time goes on, while i continue to take this wonderful medication. * And also it does NOT contain any Steroids,which will effect arthritis, and does not decrease bone density.

Not sure if the medication is working as I am also on Spiriva twice a day. The diskus is almost impossible to open. I ended up using a knife. Even the Pharmacist had a hard time opening it as I brought it into the pharmacy to show them. I will know more about how the medication works once I stop it in a couple of months.

The medication seems to be helping but trying to open the diskus that you put the medication capsule is next to impossible to open. Even he Pharmacist had difficulty. Luckily I have a Spiriva diskus to use.

sometimes I feel as though the capsules are empty.They are very expensive . I wish the capsules were clear so that I can see the powder inside.

I have repeated problems with the mechanism that punches holes in the capsules. I lose 3 or 4 tabs per month and i have notified the manufacturer on different occasions. This problem is ongoing and i may have to find another med. although i like this product the cost of lost caplets is a real problem. I have been using spiriva for years. When i complain the company usually sends me a free pack of medication but it is still a pain and i would think that there would be a solution to this problem. I have did everything i was instructed to do but i still get a problem periodically. I don't know if it is the caps or the mechanism.Read More Read Less

using this product has helped but not as much as I would like. But I`m sure I am breathing better taking it than if I wasn`t taking it.
