Your doctor will decide how much you need to improve your symptoms. You should take this medicine for as long as it is prescribed for you. It does not prevent the already started breathing trouble or COPD attack, hence always carry your medical inhaler with you for an emergency.

The most common side effects of this medicine include tremors, insomnia, headaches, and dry mouth. If these bother you or appear serious, let your doctor know. There may be ways of reducing or preventing them. Generally, it is advised to avoid alcohol while on treatment as it may affect heart rate.

Before taking this medicine, let your doctor know if you have a heart problem, or have high blood pressure or diabetes.  Inform your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
