TIOVA 9 MCG – 1 INHALER

Description

TIOVA 9 MCG contains tiotropium, a long-acting anticholinergic agent that targets COPD symptoms by providing extended bronchodilation. This inhaler is specifically formulated to offer up to 24 hours of relief, helping to alleviate symptoms such as shortness of breath and wheezing. By relaxing the muscles around the airways, TIOVA helps improve airflow, making breathing easier and more comfortable for patients with COPD.

Usage Instructions:
Preparation: Remove the inhaler from its packaging and follow the instructions to prepare the device.
Inhalation: Exhale fully before placing the mouthpiece in your mouth. Inhale deeply and steadily to ensure the medication reaches your lungs.
Post-Inhalation: Close the inhaler and store it in a dry place.
Frequency: Use the inhaler once daily at the same time each day for consistent results.

Medicinal Advantages:
Long-Lasting Relief: Provides up to 24 hours of bronchodilation for effective COPD management.
Improved Airflow: Helps alleviate symptoms like shortness of breath and wheezing.
Enhanced Lung Function: Supports better respiratory function with regular use.

Mechanism of Action:
TIOVA 9 MCG works by inhibiting the action of acetylcholine on muscarinic receptors in the airways. This inhibition leads to relaxation of bronchial smooth muscles, resulting in bronchodilation and improved airflow. By reducing constriction and opening the airways, TIOVA helps ease breathing difficulties associated with COPD.

Off-Label Uses:
Asthma Management: Sometimes used off-label for asthma symptoms when other treatments are not effective.
Exercise-Induced Bronchoconstriction: May be used off-label to prevent exercise-induced breathing issues.
