Spiriva Medication

I have Ben using the Spiriva handihaler for over 10 years. Recently I notice the capsule seems a tiny bit smaller. The most noticeable change is upon opening the foil packet the capsule comes in there is an unpleasant odor. I receive my meds by mail and have attempted to speak with a pharmacist there but was on hold for quite awhile and then the call dropped. Thought I would put this out to the community to see if anyone else had noticed what I have

  1. Hi . I hope you have gotten some answers by now. If not, I would probably take a packet to a local pharmacist and ask for confirmation that it is okay to use. It could be that the packing has changed, but it's best to play it safe. Thanks for posting here and making others aware. Best wishes. - Lori (Team Member)
