My doctor switched me from spiriva to tudorza and I have had amazing results. I always took my spiriva in the morning when I would wake up, by the end of the day I felt exahusted. Since switching I have been able to breath better at night and sleep better throughout the nights. I am so glad my doctor switched me.

I rated this low as I just started on it. Its a sample from my doc and the counter doesn't seem to work on it at all (its still on 30)........plus when it turns "red" there is still some left??

I have no issues with the medication, but the last 3 times I have purchased, the plastic dispensers have malfunctioned before all medication was used. One would not lock to set dosage, two others will not release after setting dosage. I plan to contact my physician for an alternate to replace this inhaler

Used for a week as maintenance inhaler. Thought I was going to make a trip to the emergency room as breathing was so labored. went back to old maintenance inhaler and feel much better.

Counter iffy at best. Worst itchy rash I have ever had in my life. But I could breathe without throat irritation caused by Spiriva.

Two weeks of use have proven Tudorza to be satisfying, easy to use, and very effective. This medication even seems to help me get a good night's sleep

started out great, then as time went on I was so shaking inside like all was running 100 mile an hour. stop taking it and felt better. Don't know if I'll try again. I take Flowvent and Speverent and have an rescue inhaler. Breathing is a little better without this med.

The medication works fairly well but leaves a gritty feeling in my mouth. Also it gives me a case of nausea everytime I use it.

My doctor switched me from Dulera and I have been using Tudorza for 2 weeks. I have not had to use my rescue inhaler once! Can actually breathe again.

my husband uses this med. The results are very good. He no longer gets short of breath during walking. He has COPD from years of smoking and working in a grind shop inhaling carbide dust. The Tudorza has greatly helped his breathing.

I switched from Spriva to this hoping that this would be an improvement. At first it was but that didn't last long. I'm on Symbicort and it works well but I wanted the extra kick. Tudorza was not the answer. I had a doctor's appointment yesterday and told him my experience and he said that is what he is finding. I'm going back to Spriva.

I have been taking Tudorza for about 2 months. Things started out ok, but for the past 2 weeks I have noticed some side effects mentioned by other reviewers, such my tongue is red and sore and I am having constant chest pains. I am also stuggling to breath - All symptoms I did not have prior to using Tudorza. I stopped taking it yesterday to see if the pains subside but will be contacting my doctor tomorrow. I was hoping for an improvement in lung function - not a worsening.

Tudorza caused my tongue to become red and raw so I discontinued (same problem I had with Spiriva). I agree with another reviewer that the counter on Tudorza does not work at all, It doesn't count down so I had to keep track on a calendar.

Returned my first inhaler the one replaced is exactly like the one I returned. First the counter does not work, most importantly when you can have to be able to inhale quiet alot to get the click, which I have a hard time doing. I get powdery stuff blown in my mouth every other time.

I was having shortness of breath and wheezing quite often with my COPD. I also felt the need to use my oxygen more often. Now I can go with using my oxygen only for strenuous work and nights.

I started having blurred vision after only a day and a of half using this product. So bad I couldn't read street signs like speed limit signs. Also had urination problems. Besides the vision side effect I had another that isn't mentioned that scared me the most was my chest kept hurting worse like I was having heart attack. Now that I have stopped taking this medication things are better except the vision is still blurry. Guess it wasn't meant to be for me.
