Alveotio 9 Inhaler

Alveotio 9 Inhaler is a tiotropium inhaler from Precept Pharma Ltd used for long-term control of asthma symptoms. Each Alveotio 9 Inhaler delivers tiotropium as labeled on the pack, and tiotropium is an inhaled anticholinergic bronchodilator. It helps keep the airways open so breathing is easier over time, rather than treating a sudden asthma attack. This product is sold as a strip/box of 10 inhalers.

How it works: Tiotropium works by blocking muscarinic receptors in the airways, which relaxes the airway muscles and helps keep the breathing tubes open. Because Alveotio 9 Inhaler is inhaled, the medicine goes directly into the lungs where it is needed most.

Alveotio 9 Inhaler is the exact labeled strength for this product, so it should be used only in the way your prescriber intended for your asthma plan. Because there are no other strengths or forms of Alveotio sold here, the main point is that this inhaler is a maintenance-strength tiotropium product rather than a rescue inhaler, and a doctor chooses it when long-term airway control is appropriate. It is not meant for quick relief during sudden wheezing or tightness.

• Maintenance treatment of asthma
• Help reduce day-to-day wheeze and shortness of breath
• Long-term airway opening support
• Add-on therapy for asthma control

• Use Alveotio 9 Inhaler exactly as prescribed by your doctor; do not use it for sudden breathing attacks.
• Inhale the dose through the mouth as directed for your inhaler device, and do not swallow the medicine.
• Take it at the same time each day if your prescriber has given a once-daily schedule.
• If your asthma symptoms suddenly worsen, use your rescue inhaler if prescribed and get medical advice right away.
• Do not change the number of inhalations or use extra Alveotio 9 Inhaler doses unless your doctor tells you to.
• If you miss a dose, take it when you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose; do not double up.

Alveotio 9 Inhaler provides tiotropium at the labeled strength in each inhaler, and it is generally used as a maintenance inhaler rather than as a reliever. The usual frequency is once daily for most tiotropium inhalation regimens, but the exact dose, timing, and maximum daily use for Alveotio 9 Inhaler must be set by the prescriber based on the patient’s asthma plan and response.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.

Common side effects of Tiotropium may include:

• Dry mouth
• Sore throat
• Cough
• Runny or stuffy nose
• Hoarseness
• Headache
• Constipation

• Alveotio 9 Inhaler is not a rescue inhaler and should not be used for an acute asthma attack.
• Use caution if you have glaucoma, enlarged prostate, bladder-neck blockage, or trouble urinating.
• Tell your doctor if you have kidney disease, because tiotropium can stay in the body longer in some patients.
• Keep the inhaler away from the eyes to avoid eye irritation or vision problems.
• Dry mouth can happen; good mouth care and drinking water may help.
• Tell your clinician about any history of allergic reaction to tiotropium or similar inhaled anticholinergic medicines.
• Use extra caution if you have heart rhythm problems or a history of narrow-angle glaucoma.

• Other anticholinergic medicines may increase side effects such as dry mouth, constipation, and urinary retention.
• Using multiple inhaled or oral medicines with anticholinergic effects can increase anticholinergic burden.
• Tell your doctor about all inhalers and asthma medicines you use so the treatment plan is coordinated.
• Medicines that can worsen urinary retention or glaucoma symptoms may be more problematic when combined with tiotropium.

Store Alveotio 9 Inhaler at room temperature in the original strip/box of 10 inhalers, away from moisture and heat, and keep it out of reach of children.
