Patient summary
Tiotropium 9mcg as an inhalation powder in hard capsules, used in the management of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. A long-acting M3 antagonist.
Mechanism of action
Tiotropium is a long-acting muscarinic antagonist (LAMA). It inhibits the M3-receptors in the smooth muscle of the airway, preventing contraction and resulting in bronchodilation, which facilitates easier breathing over an extended period.
Spiriva is the primary clinical inhaler for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease containing tiotropium, a respiratory bronchodilator. The same active ingredient is also sold under brand names including Tiova Rotacap and Tiova. Boehringer Ingelheim supplies this treatment as an inhaler in the 9mcg strength, which supports long term airway health for those managing respiratory challenges.
Buying Spiriva online
