I am currently taking Spiriva, Advair and Atrovent as a rescue inhaler and have been for many years. I would be interested in knowing if there are newer, more advanced, medications on the market which are now being prescribed? ## I am not sure if it is available for you yet, but one of the newest to be approved in the U.S and the EU is Daliresp for COPD and other inflammatory breathing issues. There's also a pretty active thread about people's experiences using it here: Is there anything else I can help with? ## My mum has COPD and has been using the spiriva inhaler for a week now. Since using this she is coughing alot more . Is this normal and will the coughing subside?

Just wondering if this medication would help with my breathing. I am currrently on symbicort and duo neb. Plus I use atrovent. ## Hello, Don! How are you? It contains the active ingredient Theophylline and it has been used to help with COPD. Its most common side effects may include nausea, dizziness, insomnia and irritability. Is there anything else I can help with?

Hi. I was wondering if anybody with hep-c also has c.o.p.d? I've recently been diagnosed. I have geno-3. I'm 64yrs old, feel totally confused. My dr isn't very clued up on hep-c and is not much help at all. I feel that doing treatment for hvc would be just too hard with breathing issues. Thanks. P.s. - The Atrovent puffer is now giving me urine retention. (great)

I have recently started using Atrovent for c.o.p.d. and now I have urine retention. Anybody else experience this?

I am taking Zoton, Seretide, Atrovent, Omnexel, Colchicine, Adenuric, Verap, Proscar, Omesar and Paracetamol. I took 3 Difene 75mg tablets today to relieve pain. I feel okay. Am I at risk?

I have tested positive for Amph could one of this done that. ## Will Atrovent HFA 17 meg/inh or Ventolin HFA (albuterol sulfate) make me test positive for methamphetamine on a urine drug test? ## I tested positive for amphetamines. I am taking cipro senna and ventolin inhaler. Could the inhalercause this? ## I, too, am testing positive for methamphetamine while using atrovent hfa. Proventil and all my other meds never caused this; only the addition of atrovent. I am going to discontinue it. ## I am on the original albuteral, (white canister) and pro air, Ventolin and nebulizer, machine, and I don't do drugs but everywhere I had to drop each came up DIRTY. said I have Amphetamines in my urine. What gives??

I tested positive for Benadryl via a urine test, but I have never taken this drug. I was accused of taking it and try as I might, I was not trusted. I had a habit of using a lot of Gravol, for nausea and vomiting, along with Tylenol 1s (we can get this drug over the counter here in Canada). Because of taking large doses of it, I now have brain damage. It had gone on for decades. In 1986, I was in an abusive Worker's Compensation place. It has since been investigated and closed, but not before I was traumatized. I started smoking again and discovered the wonderful world of Percocet. I would have an addiction for twenty-five years. So, it's not difficult to see why I am closely moderated and have urine tests on a regular basis. I've been clean for a year and a half, but my uri...
