It is specifically designed for daily administration and is not recommended to relieve sudden breathing difficulties immediately.

Description

Spiriva Respimat Inhaler contains the active ingredient tiotropium bromide, a long-acting bronchodilator classified as an anticholinergic medication. It is formulated to manage and treat chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), including chronic bronchitis and emphysema, and to control asthma symptoms in adults and children over the age of 6. The medication aids in relaxing the muscles around the airways, improving airflow and making breathing easier. Regular use is aimed at enhancing the quality of life by reducing respiratory symptoms.
