Description

Indications

Tiotropium is prescribed for the treatment of lung diseases such as asthma and COPD. Its regular is used to prevent wheezing and shortness of breath by relaxing the muscles surrounding the airways, thereby increasing ease of breathing.

Classified as an anticholinergic drug, tiotropium belongs to a group of medications that can effectively control breathing-related symptoms, reducing the time lost from work or school. This medication needs to be taken regularly to achieve its therapeutic benefits, as it does not offer immediate relief for sudden breathing difficulties.

Uses and Dosage

If you are using the inhaler for the first time or if you have not used it for more than 21 days, follow the instructions for test sprays in the air. Make sure to spray away from your face to prevent the medication from getting into your eyes. A slow-moving mist indicates that the inhaler is functioning correctly.

As directed by your doctor, inhale this medication orally, typically 2 sprays once daily. Refrain from inhaling more than 2 sprays within a 24-hour period.

Avoid getting the medication in your eyes, as it may cause eye pain/irritation, temporary blurred vision, and other vision changes.

Ensure that your lips tightly encircle the mouthpiece while using the inhaler.

Rinse your mouth after using the inhaler to prevent dry mouth and throat irritation. If you are using other inhalers simultaneously, wait for at least 1 minute between the usage of each medication.

Use this medication regularly at the same time each day to obtain the most benefits from it. Do not exceed the prescribed dose, frequency of usage, or duration of treatment. This drug will not improve your condition any faster, and it may increase your risk of experiencing side effects.

Clean the mouthpiece of the inhaler at least once a week as directed.

When used to treat asthma, it may take 4 to 8 weeks for the full benefits of this medication to become apparent. Learn which inhaler you should use daily and which inhaler you should use in case of sudden breathing issues.

Consult your doctor in advance on what to do if you experience new or worsening cough, shortness of breath, wheezing, increased sputum, waking up at night with trouble breathing, if you use your quick-relief inhaler more frequently, or if your quick-relief inhaler appears to be ineffective. Determine when you can treat sudden breathing difficulties by yourself and when you must immediately seek medical assistance.

Inform your doctor if your symptoms do not improve or worsen.
