Tiova is a medicine usually
prescribed by the physician for long term inhalation. The usual dose of this
medicine is administering it once every day to improve the condition of a
patient with symptoms of bronchospasm or the problem of airway tightening among
the individuals suffering from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or COPD. The
main ingredient of this medicine is Tiotropium Bromide, which is basically an anticholinergic
bronchodilator that has muscarinic receptors like the ones from M1 to M5.
Inside the airways, this particular medicine shows different pharmacological
effects through the inhibition of M3 receptors at a smooth muscle which is the
process of bronchodilation. Every spray
of the inhaler delivers 9mcg Tiotropium Bromide Monohydrate.
The medicine is available in the
form of a capsule that is available for oral inhalation through an inhaler.
Each capsule contains dry powder of tiotropium that treats a COPD like
emphysema or chronic bronchitis. The work procedure of Tiova inhalers is
responsible for relaxing the muscles of the airway and making them smooth for
an improved secretion of mucus from both, the nasal passage and bronchiole.
Cipla Pharmaceuticals Limited in India manufactures Tiova inhalers. This one can
be available in the stores as 18mcg inhalers and the same with Rotahalers. The
US name of the brand is Spiriva.
While using the medication of
Tiova inhalers, it is an absolute necessity to follow the detailed instructions
of the doctor, methodically. The medicine must be taken for the entire period
prescribed by the doctor. Symptom relief might be appearing before complete
cure of the disease. That does not mean medication should be stopped. The result
of such unwarranted stopping of medicine can prove dangerous. The enclosed
leaflet with tiova inhaler canprove beneficial for effective information about the medicine. The
Rotacap capsules are not for swallowing dry or with water. If the person has Angioderma,
Hepatic disorders, renal disorders, this medicine is not for him. It is

every month with water. This medicine should be taken regularly to see the best
results. After every use, mouth of the patient must be rinsed thoroughly to
