Description
Tiova Rotacaps 18 mcg is a nasal medication used to ease breathing in people with diseases like asthma, emphysema (a serious condition that makes breathing difficult), and chronic obstructive bronchitis. It may also be used for treatment of other conditions not mentioned above. The active ingredient Tiotropium bromide is an anticholinergic bronchodilator that relieves the discomfort caused by COPD i.e. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (chronic bronchitis and emphysema). It works by relaxing muscles of the air passages, thereby increasing the flow of air to the lungs and hence improving breathing in people suffering from asthma and other breathing difficulties.
