Patient summary
This inhaler is formulated to support respiratory function and indicated to alleviate airway narrowing in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Mechanism of action
Tiotropium binds to muscarinic receptors on airway smooth muscle, inhibiting bronchoconstriction and maintaining bronchodilation over an extended period.
Tiotropium is a long-acting bronchodilator, an anticholinergic that relaxes the muscles around the airways for about a day. It is used once daily for COPD, including chronic bronchitis and emphysema, and in some people with asthma. This inhaler gives 9 micrograms per dose; the original brand is Spiriva.
Do not use tiotropium to treat a sudden attack of wheezing or shortness of breath. Tell your doctor first if you have glaucoma, urinary or prostate problems, an irregular heartbeat or kidney disease (MedlinePlus).
Buying Tiotropium online
Generic tiotropium from India costs far less than the original brand. COPD treatment works best as part of a plan agreed with your doctor.
