Brief Answer:
You may take it

Detailed Answer:
Welcome to Healthcaremagic.
Hi, I am Dr Anshul Varshney , I have read your query in detail , I understand your concern.
AT present if you are feeling the need you may take Spiriva as single dose.
However, if you are intolerant to Spiriva, we have safer options for S0S (as or when required) basis.
You can discuss with your doctor to prescribe you Salbutamol Inhaler that you can take whenever you need.
This is my personal opinion based on details available here. If you still have any other query, you may please ask me.
Stay Healthy.
