TIOTROPIUM(18MCG) + FORMOTEROL(12MCG)

This medicine is prescribed for the maintenance treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), including chronic bronchitis and emphysema. It helps prevent and reduce symptoms such as wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and chronic cough. It is used as a regular daily treatment to keep airways open and improve breathing capacity in patients with long-term respiratory conditions.

This combination contains two types of bronchodilators that work differently. Tiotropium is a long-acting anticholinergic that blocks receptors in the airways, preventing muscle tightening and reducing mucus production. Formoterol is a long-acting beta-2 agonist that relaxes the muscles around the airways. Together, they keep the airways open for extended periods, making breathing easier and preventing symptoms of chronic respiratory diseases.

Common side effects include dry mouth, throat irritation, cough, headache, dizziness, nausea, and hoarseness of voice. Some patients may experience rapid heartbeat, tremors, muscle cramps, or difficulty sleeping. Rarely, allergic reactions, urinary retention, or vision problems may occur. Most side effects are mild and temporary, improving as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if symptoms persist or worsen.

This medicine is for inhalation use only, typically through a specific inhaler device. Use it at the same time each day as prescribed by your doctor, usually once daily. Follow the exact technique demonstrated by your doctor or pharmacist for proper inhaler use. Rinse your mouth with water after each use to prevent irritation and infections. Do not swallow the capsules if provided; they must be used only with the prescribed inhaler device. Never exceed the recommended dose.

Inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding. Use with caution if you have heart problems, high blood pressure, diabetes, thyroid disorders, or prostate enlargement. This medicine may cause dizziness or blurred vision; avoid driving if affected. Not recommended for acute breathing attacks; keep a rescue inhaler handy. Inform your doctor about all medications you take, especially other inhalers, heart medicines, or antidepressants. Regular eye check-ups are advised for long-term users. Alcohol does not directly interact but may worsen dizziness.
