Formoterol-Tiotropium 6mcg-9mcg Uses

This inhaler is prescribed to:

  • Manage symptoms of COPD, such as shortness of breath, wheezing, and chest tightness.
  • Prevent COPD exacerbations and improve overall lung function.
  • Provide long-term maintenance therapy for individuals with chronic respiratory conditions.

How Does Formoterol-Tiotropium 6mcg-9mcg Work

  • Formoterol: A LABA that stimulates beta-2 receptors in the lungs, relaxing airway muscles and improving airflow for up to 12 hours.
  • Tiotropium: A LAMA that blocks muscarinic receptors, reducing airway constriction and keeping airways open for easier breathing.
    Together, these components provide effective, long-lasting relief from COPD symptoms.

  • Use the inhaler exactly as prescribed by your doctor, typically two inhalations once daily.
  • Shake the inhaler well before each use.
  • Exhale fully, place the mouthpiece in your mouth, and press down on the canister while inhaling deeply. Hold your breath for a few seconds before exhaling.
  • Rinse your mouth with water after use to reduce the risk of irritation or dryness.
