Tiova Rotacaps (Tiotropium) | Ashthma Care
Tiova Rotacaps is a brand name for a medication called tiotropium bromide. It is a long-acting bronchodilator that is used to treat chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), including chronic bronchitis and emphysema.
Tiova Rotacaps come in a capsule form that is designed to be used with a special inhaler called a Rotahaler. The capsules contain a dry powder that is inhaled into the lungs, where it helps to relax and open up the airways, making it easier to breathe.
Tiova Rotacaps are typically used once a day, at the same time each day, and should not be used as a rescue medication for sudden breathing problems. It may take several days to several weeks for the medication to have its full effect, so it is important to continue using it as directed, even if symptoms improve.
Common side effects of Tiova Rotacaps include dry mouth, constipation, cough, and urinary tract infections. It should not be used by people who are allergic to tiotropium or similar medications, or by people who have narrow-angle glaucoma or an enlarged prostate. It is important to talk to a healthcare professional before using Tiova Rotacaps or any other medication for COPD.
