Tiotropium Bromide (18mcg)& Formoterol DH (12mcg) Powder for Inhalation

Tiotropium Bromide (18mcg) and Formoterol DH (12mcg) powder for inhalation, marketed under the name R/C TIOTROPIN F, is a combination medication used to manage and treat chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This dual-action inhaler offers significant benefits in reducing symptoms, improving lung function, and enhancing the overall quality of life for individuals with respiratory conditions.

Tiotropium Bromide and Formoterol DH work synergistically to provide comprehensive relief from COPD symptoms.

• Tiotropium Bromide: A long-acting anticholinergic bronchodilator, Tiotropium Bromide works by blocking muscarinic receptors in the airways. This action prevents the tightening of the muscles around the airways, leading to bronchodilation and improved airflow.

• Formoterol DH: A long-acting beta2-agonist (LABA), Formoterol DH stimulates beta2-adrenergic receptors in the lungs, causing the muscles around the airways to relax. This relaxation results in bronchodilation and easier breathing.

R/C TIOTROPIN F is primarily used to manage and treat the following conditions:

• Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD): Including chronic bronchitis and emphysema, this inhaler helps in alleviating symptoms such as breathlessness, wheezing, and chronic cough.

This combination medication is formulated as a dry powder for inhalation, offering a convenient and effective delivery method for managing COPD. The inhaler device ensures precise dosing and rapid onset of action, making it a preferred choice for patients requiring long-term bronchodilation.
