About this product
Overview
TioCap 18mcg Capsule contains the active ingredient Tiotropium, which is classified as a long-acting antimuscarinic bronchodilator. It is prescribed to manage symptoms associated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma.
Uses
TioCap 18mcg Capsule is primarily prescribed for the long-term maintenance treatment of airflow obstruction in patients with COPD, including chronic bronchitis and emphysema. It may also be used in the management of asthma when combined with other appropriate medications.
Mechanism of Action
Tiotropium works by blocking muscarinic receptors in the bronchial smooth muscle, leading to bronchodilation. This helps in relieving symptoms such as shortness of breath, wheezing, and cough associated with COPD and asthma.
Administration
The capsule is typically used with an inhalation device (not as an oral capsule). It is essential to follow the prescribed inhalation technique provided by your healthcare provider.
Side Effects
Common side effects may include dry mouth, constipation, and urinary retention. Serious side effects are rare but may include allergic reactions or worsening of respiratory symptoms. Report any unusual or severe side effects to your healthcare provider.
Precautions
- Inform your healthcare provider about any pre-existing medical conditions, especially narrow-angle glaucoma, enlarged prostate, or bladder issues.
- Disclose all medications, including prescription and over-the-counter drugs, as well as any herbal supplements, to avoid potential interactions.
When Not to Use
TioCap 18mcg Capsule may not be suitable for use in individuals with known hypersensitivity or allergy to Tiotropium or any components of the capsule.
