Tiotropium inhaler is used for the long term treatment of people who have chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). COPD is a disease affecting the lungs which makes it harder for the person to breathe as the disease gets worse.
Tiotropium works by opening up the airways and makes it easier for air to move in and out of the lungs.
Check the dose counter and change the inhaler once the dose counter indicates zero doses or three months after you opened it.
