Is spriva good for asthma or its for copd only?

Not for asthma: Meant for COPD, many other drugs are available for asthma, unless a patient has both conditions

Probable: There are studies showing that Spiriva provides as much bronchodilation as beta agonist ( albuterol etc). In selected cases, inhaled steroid, long-acting bronchodilator, and antimuscarinic (Spiriva) are required to control asthma. This same combination are also used on COPD although inhaled steroid may not be needed for a high % of COPD patients.
