Spiriva, a new bronchodilator for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
April 2004
You'll start seeing prescriptions for Spiriva, a new bronchodilator for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Spiriva is an anticholinergic similar to Atrovent (ipratropium).
Spiriva (tiotropium) is at least as effective as Atrovent... plus it's longer-acting. Spiriva can be used just once a day... instead of three to four times like Atrovent.
