A member asked:
Developed joint & muscle pain after 4 mo. on spiriva & advair. d/c meds and pain gone. any reliable alternatives to these meds for dx: "mild copd"?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mgt: There are similar medications and alternative medications available. I would suggest discussing Breo with your pulmonary specialist. Did you have a lab evaluation including muscle enzymes and electrolytes? I would suggest further investigation for these findings.
