Does spriva inhaler make a person cough and get rid of phelm?

Slowly opens airways: This is not a quick fix inhaler - it works over time to reduce the irritability of the tissues in your airways so you can breathe more freely. It is possible that the immediate effect of using the inhaler can "tickle" your throat, causing a cough that might bring up some easy phlegm. But that's just a coincidence - not the purpose. If it helps, good. But the aim is to reduce inflammation. Best!
