Tiotropium bromide inhalation powder (as Respicaps) 18 mcg per capsule
Maintenance treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) including chronic bronchitis and emphysema; helps prevent bronchospasm and reduce COPD symptoms
Tiotropium is a long-acting anticholinergic (LAMA) bronchodilator. It blocks muscarinic receptors in airway smooth muscle, leading to sustained bronchodilation and easier breathing.
For inhalation use only with a compatible capsule-based inhaler device. Do not swallow the capsule. Typically inhale the contents of 1 capsule once daily at the same time each day, with or without food, as prescribed. Rinse mouth after use if advised.
Common side effects of TIOFORM RESPICAPS may include:
Not for relief of acute bronchospasm/attack—use a rescue inhaler for sudden symptoms. Avoid getting powder in eyes (may worsen narrow-angle glaucoma). Use with caution in urinary retention/prostatic hyperplasia and renal impairment. Stop and seek care if paradoxical bronchospasm, severe allergic reaction, or worsening breathing occurs. Keep regular follow-up; do not exceed prescribed dose.
