I'm breathing a lot better, and am able to walk three miles every morning again, before work. Dear Carolyn, thank you for your question. It's hard for me to answer your question because it relates to the motives of your physician in starting a new medication. I'm not trying to avoid your question, but I think it's most appropriate if you ask your own physician these exact questions to get a qualified answer. I hope you find this information useful.
