Quikhale T 18 mcg Capsule

Quikhale T 18 mcg Capsule is a tiotropium inhalation capsule used for long-term maintenance treatment of asthma symptoms. Each capsule contains 18 mcg of tiotropium, a long-acting anticholinergic (LAMA) medicine that helps keep the airways open. It is not a rescue medicine and does not treat sudden breathing problems. Quikhale T 18 mcg Capsule is used to help reduce wheezing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness when prescribed as part of a regular asthma plan.

How it works: Tiotropium works by blocking muscarinic receptors in the airways, which helps relax the muscles around the breathing tubes and makes it easier for air to move in and out. In capsule form, the medicine is inhaled after opening the capsule in the prescribed inhaler device, so the powder reaches the lungs where it is needed.

Quikhale T 18 mcg Capsule is a higher-strength, prescription-only tiotropium capsule intended for patients a clinician has specifically evaluated for maintenance use. Because there are no other Quikhale T strengths or forms listed here, this product should be viewed as the brand’s standard capsule presentation rather than something to self-adjust. The 18 mcg dose is chosen to provide once-daily maintenance bronchodilation, not fast relief during an asthma attack.

• Maintenance treatment of asthma
• Help reduce wheezing
• Help ease shortness of breath
• Help prevent chest tightness
• Long-term airway opening support

• Use Quikhale T 18 mcg Capsule only with the inhaler device your pharmacist or doctor recommends; do not swallow the capsule.
• Open the capsule only when you are ready to use it, then inhale the powder exactly as directed.
• Do not chew, crush, or mix the capsule contents with food or water.
• Take it at the same time each day if your prescriber tells you to use it daily.
• Do not use extra capsules for sudden symptoms; use your rescue inhaler for quick relief if prescribed.
• If the capsule is damaged or empty before use, do not use it.

Each Quikhale T 18 mcg Capsule provides 18 mcg of tiotropium. The exact dose and how often to use it are decided by your doctor; this strength is typically used once daily and should not be used more than once in 24 hours unless your prescriber specifically instructs otherwise.

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