Tiotropium

Tiotropium is an anticholinergic agent that helps to treat the symptoms of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) such as emphysema and bronchitis. It works by enlarging the airways and thus allowing greater passageway for the oxygen to pass and allowing easier breathing.

Tiotropium is not to be used if you are allergic to any of its ingredients, or a related medicine such as ipratropium. Let your doctor know if you are taking any other medicine, dietary supplement or are allergic to any medicine and foodstuff.

The capsules of Tiotropium are not to be taken orally, but are inhaled using an inhaler. Understand how to use it properly from your doctor. Make sure to keep your head upright while inhaling it. It should not be used more than once in a day.

A runny nose, dry mouth, constipation, indigestion, throat irritation may be some of the common symptoms of Tiotropium. If you face severe allergic reactions, chest pain, red eyes, vision changes and ragged breathing, consult a doctor immediately.
