What is Tiova (Tiotropium Bromide) used for?

Tiova (Tiotropium Bromide) is an inhalable medication used to treat patients who are suffering from asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The medication operates by relaxing and widening the airways to allow easier and more comfortable breathing. Your doctor may prescribe its use for the treatment of other unlisted conditions as well. Note that this medication is only meant to prevent asthma attacks and should not be used in the event of an attack. Always keep an emergency inhaler on hand in case such an event occurs.

How should I use Tiova (Tiotropium Bromide)?

Only use Tiova (Tiotropium Bromide) as instructed by your prescribing doctor to get the safest and most effective results. It is normally administered two times each day at a dosage of one pre-measured capsule. Your particular dosage and application frequency will be based on your health condition, symptoms, and response to other treatments. Never deviate from these directions as misuse can lead to serious health problems.

To administer the doses, insert the capsule into your rotahaler and manipulate it until it is opened and the contents are released. Exhale deeply, put your mouth on the mouthpiece, and inhale sharply and deeply to draw the medication into your lungs. Another inhalation may be required to make sure the entire dosage is taken. Never exhale into the rotahaler as this may disperse the medication or destroy it. It is also suggested to take the doses at the same times each day to get the most efficient treatment by keeping a consistent level of medicine in the system at all times.

Attend regular medical chack-ups with your prescribing doctor to make sure you are experiencing the correct results from the medication. By observing your response to the medicine and your progress, your doctor can make the correct adjustments to the regimen. This may include altering your dosage or application frequency until the best effects are found. If you have any questions about the medicine, ask your pharmacist or doctor to ensure the correct usage.
