When treating a COPD patient, our pulmonologists develop an individualized treatment plan that may include medications and lifestyle changes. We have experience in the use of:
Each patient is treated based on their medical history and the severity of their condition.
The most common cause of chronic bronchitis is smoking. Other causes may include long-term exposure to air pollution, dust, and industrial fumes, as well as recurrent respiratory infections. Signs and symptoms of chronic bronchitis may include a persistent cough that produces mucus (sputum), fatigue, shortness of breath, chest tightness, wheezing and difficulty breathing.
The frequency of refills for COPD medications depends on a number of factors, including the type of medication being used, frequency and length of treatment, and the individual’s reaction to the medication. Generally speaking, most people with COPD will need to refill their medications every one to two months. Your doctor may recommend that you schedule regular follow-up appointments to monitor your condition so they can adjust your medication as needed.
