Don't Settle

If you’re living with COPD, you don’t have to settle for an inhaler and medication that isn’t the right fit for you. The right medication for you in the right inhaler for you should help you breathe easier. Make sure to speak to your doctor about what medication and inhaler work best for you.

Talk to a Healthcare Provider

Consider the below questions the next time you speak to your healthcare provider about your inhaler and medication. If you answer “no” to any of these, it may be time to talk to your healthcare provider about other inhaler options. There may be another inhaler option for you to consider.

  • I find my inhaler is easy to use

  • I find it challenging to inhale my medicine

  • My COPD symptoms are well managed (e.g., no difficulty with shortness of breath, coughing or wheezing)
