Empty Capsules?

have read that some people have gotten empty capsules of Spiriva. I just began this medicine ten days ago, and do not know how to tell if i get a "dud" capsule. today, the capsule rattled in the device as soon as i inhaled the first time. usually, it rattles in the middle of the second inhalation. do not want to use another one, just because it "might" have been empty. how can one tell before using it if it is in fact, "empty"?

I can't find any official word on this, but did see quite a few other posts from people that have had similar complaints and suspected they'd gotten empty capsules.

Have you tried talking to your pharmacist about it?

i too have gotten what i thought might be a dud a time or two but that doesn't happen very often.most of the time there o k.i have been using it for about 2or 3 years and you can usually tell when you feel it in your throat.be sure not to drink anything for a while.you'll kill it.good luck.
