Tiotropium

Tiotropium is a medication used to help manage chronic respiratory conditions like COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) and sometimes asthma. It works by relaxing the muscles around the airways in your lungs, making it easier to breathe and reducing symptoms like wheezing and shortness of breath. Tiotropium is usually inhaled using an inhaler and is taken regularly to prevent lung flare-ups. It does not provide immediate relief during an asthma attack but is effective in maintaining steady lung function over time. Always follow your healthcare provider's instructions when using this medication.
