About Spiriva

  • Inhalation medicine (puffer)
  • Use every day
  • Not suitable for children under six years of age

Spiriva is a medication that contains tiotropium, an active ingredient that belongs to a class of drugs called anticholinergics. It works by relaxing the muscles around the airways in your lungs, making it easier for you to breathe. Spiriva is suitable for individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) to help manage symptoms like shortness of breath, coughing, and wheezing.

Dosage and usage

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.
