Is Tudorza Better Than Spiriva For COPD?

In your opinion, is Tudorza better than Spiriva for COPD? I used spiriva for about a year while I had insurance, and it worked well. It did seem to be less effective as time went on. Am getting some Tudorza for free, and thinking of trying it. Your thoughts would be appreciated. I read all the warnings. I don t have any of the conditions.

Hi
Thanks for posting on HCM
Tudorza is used to prevent bronchospasm in adults with chronic bronchitis, emphysema, or other forms of COPD.
Spiriva is a bronchodilator that relaxes muscles in the airways and increases air flow to the lungs.It is used to prevent bronchospasm in people with COPD including bronchitis and emphysema.
I will suggest you give Spiriva a try and am sure will will get good results.The two drugs have very similar functions.Since you also mentioned that tudorsa seemed to be less effective as time went on, i think it will be good you try this new molecule.
Hope my answer will help you
Regards
