Tudorza Pressair for Bronchospasm Prevention with COPD
I quickly noticed positive results after beginning this medication. My breathing was much easier and I stopped wheezing altogether. The taste is unpleasant, but it's a small price to pay for the benefits.

Tudorza Pressair for Bronchospasm Prevention with COPD
I've been using Tudorza for over three years now, and it's made a world of difference in my breathing. Flare-ups have decreased from several times a year to only once or twice, and I can't imagine going without it at this point. Yeah, the taste is kind of powdery and weird at first, but you get used to it pretty quickly. And the benefits are definitely worth it!

Tudorza Pressair for Emphysema
I've been on this medication for four years, and it's still working great. I occasionally have to give it a good tug to get it to go red, but other than that it's perfect.

As a registered nurse, I am very critical of side effects. However, this is the only medication that works relatively well without any intolerable side effects.

Tudorza Pressair for Emphysema
Tudorza has improved my COPD, though it's not a cure-all. I'm glad to have found something that works for me, and I'll continue using it as long as it's effective.
