Guest guest Posted July 2, 2004 Report Share Posted July 2, 2004 I know that these two are much alike and we are continuing to give both together (Spiriva once a day and Atrovent PRN). I am searching for information that Spiriva can cause an asthma attack. All research on Spiriva has been halted for some reason and I would like to know why.

Guest guest Posted July 2, 2004 Report Share Posted July 2, 2004 Matt, I put this out to my COPD list, lot's of people are on Spiriva there. My feeling is that about anything inhaled can give you an attack. I got them from Maxair. C-M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
