Tiova 9 Mcg Inhaler, 200

Tiotropium Bromide Inhaler (9 mcg) is a long-acting anticholinergic medication used to treat chronic respiratory conditions. It works by relaxing the muscles in the airways, helping to open them up and make breathing easier. It is typically used for managing symptoms of chronic lung diseases.

1. Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

   • Tiotropium is primarily used to treat COPD, which includes conditions such as:
     • Chronic bronchitis
     • Emphysema
   • It helps to:
     • Reduce wheezing and shortness of breath
     • Prevent flare-ups or exacerbations of COPD
     • Improve lung function and daily breathing capacity

2. Asthma (in some cases)

   • Tiotropium is sometimes used as an add-on treatment for severe asthma (not for acute attacks) in adults who do not respond well enough to inhaled corticosteroids or long-acting beta-agonists.
   • It helps to open the airways and reduce asthma symptoms such as wheezing and shortness of breath.

• Tiotropium Bromide is an anticholinergic agent that works by blocking muscarinic receptors in the smooth muscles of the airways. This prevents acetylcholine (a neurotransmitter) from binding to these receptors, leading to the relaxation of the airway muscles and helping to keep the airways open.
• It is long-acting, providing relief for up to 24 hours, which makes it suitable for once-daily use.
