Key takeaways Spiriva can be taken either in the morning or at night, but morning doses may be easier to remember for some patients. You can take Spiriva with or without food, but to reduce the risk of side effects, you should only take it once every 24 hours. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as possible, but never double it to make up for a missed one.
