Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease COPD is used to describe progressive lung diseases including emphysema, chronic bronchitis, refractory (non-reversible) asthma, and some forms of bronchiectasis.
Common symptoms of COPD are :
increased breathlessness, frequent coughing, wheezing and tightness in the chest. The inhaler medication Spiriva (tiotropium bromide) may slow the progression of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease COPD if used in the early stage of the disease.
Researchers discovered that the drug helped patients preserve more lung function for over two years. It also reduces the symptom and boosts patients' quality of life. There is no cure for COPD, but there are therapies that can manage the symptoms.
The use of inhaler bronchodilators, relax the muscles around the airways and make it easier to breathe. Smoking, genetics and exposure to pollutants are the risk factors of developing COPD.
