Brief Answer:
No concerns

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for contacting HCM with your health care concerns

You accidentally swallowed a capsule of Spiriva. There is no concerns after swallowing Spiriva as the stomach will actually destroy most of the medication. The medication is for inhalation and the amount of medication in the capsule is too small to make any difference in your health.

In summary
No worries

I hope I answered your question. If you have any additional questions please contact us again.
