Breyna is a combination of LABA (formoterol) and ICS (budesonide). Spiriva is a LAMA (tiotropium).
As for causing a cough, are you using a chamber device with your inhalers? These help move the medication closer to the airway and can help.

I have not been using Spiriva with the spacer, only the other two. I had thought Spiriva was not supposed to be taken with the spacer but appears that studies have shown it’s as effective with or without. Great info about which is a LABA and LAMA.
