A member asked:

Took speriva respimat for asthma. it helped.but afraid to take it.i read it has 50% mortaiity rate. have always had irregular heart beats so worried.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Misinformed: This drug obviously does not kill 50% of its users. When used appropriately it can be a decent aid in the treatment of chronic pulmonary disease. It sounds like you need to have a good talk with your doc or his/her about your medications.
