Let's take a minute to talk about your medication.

This is Bevespi Aerosphere.  It helps improve symptoms of COPD like coughing, chest tightness and shortness of breath. Bevespi helps open the airways in your lungs so you can breathe better.  

It is important to know that Bevespi is NOT a 'rescue inhaler'.  It cannot treat sudden breathing problems.

Bevespi is inhaled through your mouth and into your lungs. It is often taken as two puffs every morning and two puffs every evening. You should use it exactly as your doctor tells you to. Also, you should read the full 'Instructions for Use'.  It's a good idea to ask your pharmacist to check that you use your inhaler correctly. 

Most people tolerate this medicine well. Some people notice a cough. This is normal if it is mild and should go away. If this or other side effects become reasons you want to stop using Bevespi, please talk to your doctor or pharmacist. If you suddenly stop using this medicine, your symptoms may come back.

As with any medicine, rare but serious side effects can occur. With Bevespi, this includes problems with urination. You should talk to your doctor about which symptoms to watch for and when to report changes. Also, you should read the Medication Guide for more information about this and other side effects. To help keep this medicine safe for you, your doctor will follow your condition closely. 

Bevespi can interact with other medicines. You should check with your doctor or pharmacist before taking other medications.

For best results with Bevespi, be sure to plan ahead for refills. Remember to always call your doctor right away if your breathing problems get worse, or if you need a rescue inhaler more often than normal.
