CBD Oil Treatment for COPD

I was wondering if anyone has heard of a study on CBD hemp oil treatment for COPD? CBD oil reduces inflammation, anxiety, and depression, and is an expectorant. It has few (if any) side effects.

Using CBD for COPD

I would like to take this instead of Prednisone. My doc is ok with me taking this product as long as I still use my Spiriva. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. L. Fetters

  1. Anyone else note how much the cost of Spiriva has increased in the last few years?
    Also....anyone else have trouble with the capsule crushing in he handihaler after pushing the button on the side? I never know if I am getting any benefit when this happens.

    1. I use sprivia respamat Works good

    2. Hi again, Awesome, and thanks for letting us know the success you're having using Spiriva. We appreciate your feedback.

      All the best,

  3. For spiriva try the respimat version .. much easier than the capsukes

    1. Thanks for the suggestion, ebwhittaker. Remember, everyone is different and everyone's COPD is different. What works well for some does not work well for others. It's always a good idea to check with your physician in order to change medications or methods of delivery.
      I thought you might find it helpful to look over this article on Spiriva: https://copd.net/treatment/medication-overview/medications/spiriva-respimat-spiriva-handihaler/
