You can help manage the effects of COPD.
The role you play as caregiver—for your spouse, a parent, or even a close friend—can make a real difference in how well your family member’s COPD is managed, and how it affects both your lives.
One of the most important things you can do as a caregiver is to learn all you can about the treatment options for COPD. Talk to your loved one's healthcare provider about the specific kinds of medication prescribed for them. Understand what it does and how it works. You'll also want to make sure they take their medicine as prescribed—correctly and at the right times.

Partnering with their healthcare provider
Your loved one's healthcare provider is not only the professional who prescribes the COPD medication. They're also the best source of information on all the other things you can do to make a difference in your loved one's life—and yours. Communication between you and the patient and their healthcare provider is key. An open dialogue can make a huge difference in managing the often difficult symptoms of COPD and the effect they can have on both your lives.
