Yes, I have used the Spiriva (Tiova) MDI inhaler from ADC. I tried one 200 activation canister (100 day supply) and by the time I got half way through, I was not breathing nearly as well as prior to the MDI. As I result, I dumped it and went back to the DPI Tiova Rotahaler and immediately I was back to where I was before I switched. Might be different for other folks, though. -- Vic.

I use it and do like it. I stopped for awhile because of side effects I was having, but since I can't find a better med, I use the inhaler. You only get 1/2 a dose with one inhalation, and that seems to help me. I do go back to atrovent, but I can't seem to find a good happy medium. Breathing is not as good as when I used just Spiriva, but I don't choke on food all the time. Yes, the little inhaler is good.

I use the Tiova, too, Muffin, and I ditto what the others have said. I have a question about inhalers post-LVRS, though. Do you still use the same ones you used before LVRS and if so, why? I am using my Tiova and Symbicort mainly 'cause no one told me I did or didn't have to use them any more but I don't know whether I need to.

It's called Tiova. I use it regularily and prefer it to the product in the US. Their capsules have a clear end, and the handihaler allows easier delivery. I think many who use it, prefer it. Capsules are provided in 15 capsule , so check what you need. I sure hope folks don't abuse the source. We are 'permitted' to order a 90day supply of overseas meds, but they do split your order if it doesn't fit their small box. I think smaller boxes, pass customs more easily. Ordering too much product at a time could be considered possible resale. When I started, I ordered each month to get a small stockpile of meds, and store in an insulated container. I reorder about every three months.I am careful about expiration dates and use oldest product first. It's cheaper than Plan D too. They have a superb source.
