It can be tough living with COPD, but I try not to let it slow me down. I go down to the pool for a swim, get out and dance, even play a little hide and seek. I'm breathing better with Sporiva. Sporiva is the only once-daily inhaled maintenance treatment for both forms of COPD, which includes chronic bronchitis and emphysema. I take it every day. It keeps my airways open to help me breathe better all day long, and it's not a steroid. Sporiva does not replace fast-acting inhalers for sudden symptoms. Stop taking Sporiva and call your doctor if your breathing suddenly worsens, throat or tongue swells, you get hives or have vision changes or eye pain. Tell your doctor if you have glaucoma, problems passing urine or an enlarged prostate, as these may worsen with Sporiva. Also discuss the medicines you take, even eye drops. Side effects may include dry mouth, constipation and trouble passing urine. Every day could be a good day to breathe better. Ask your doctor if once-daily Sporiva is right for you.
