Spiriva

You should take Spiriva exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider. The typical dose is one inhalation once a day, using the Respimat inhaler device. Do not exceed the recommended dose, and do not use Spiriva more frequently than directed. The effects of Spiriva can last for 24 hours, so it's important to take it at the same time each day. If you experience any difficulties breathing or if your symptoms worsen, contact your doctor.

Each dose of Spiriva contains 2.5 micrograms of tiotropium as the active ingredient. The inhalation solution also includes excipients such as sodium chloride and water for injections.

Common side effects of Spiriva may include dry mouth, throat irritation, and constipation. Serious side effects that require immediate medical attention include difficulty breathing, rapid heartbeat, and severe allergic reactions like rash, itching, or swelling.

Do not use Spiriva if you are allergic to tiotropium or any other ingredients in the product. Inform your doctor about any medical conditions you have, especially glaucoma, enlarged prostate, or trouble passing urine. Individuals with a history of heart conditions or those taking medications like beta-blockers should consult their healthcare provider before using Spiriva. Pregnant or nursing women should seek medical advice before starting this medication.
