Tiate 9 mcg Transcaps

Tiate 9 mcg Transcaps is a prescription inhaled capsule that contains 9 mcg of tiotropium in each capsule. It belongs to the long-acting muscarinic antagonist (LAMA) class and is used to help manage asthma by keeping the airways open. Tiate 9 mcg Transcaps is not a rescue medicine for sudden breathing problems. It is used regularly as part of a controller plan to reduce symptoms and help prevent flare-ups.

How it works: Tiotropium in Tiate 9 mcg Transcaps relaxes the muscles around the airways by blocking muscarinic receptors, which helps the air passages stay more open. Because this medicine is in a capsule for inhalation, it works directly in the lungs after the capsule powder is breathed in with the proper device.

Tiate 9 mcg Transcaps is a higher-strength capsule and should be used only when a clinician has decided this dose is appropriate for the person’s asthma control needs. Compared with lower-strength tiotropium capsule options used in some markets, the 9 mcg capsule delivers a larger amount of medicine per capsule, so it is not meant for routine self-adjustment or quick symptom relief. A doctor may choose Tiate 9 mcg Transcaps when a patient needs a stronger maintenance dose and can use the inhalation device correctly.

• Maintenance treatment of asthma
• Helping prevent wheezing and chest tightness
• Reducing shortness of breath over time
• Supporting long-term airway control
• Not for sudden asthma attacks

• Use Tiate 9 mcg Transcaps only with the inhalation device it was prescribed for; do not swallow the capsule whole.
• Open the capsule and inhale the powder as directed; the capsule is not meant to be chewed, crushed, or mixed with water.
• Take it at the same time each day if your prescriber told you to use it regularly.
• Do not use it as a quick-relief inhaler during an asthma attack; keep your rescue inhaler available.
• If you miss a dose, take it when you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose; do not double up.
• After inhalation, rinse your mouth if your clinician advises it and follow the device-cleaning steps given with the inhaler.

Each Tiate 9 mcg Transcaps capsule provides 9 mcg of tiotropium. How often it is taken depends on the asthma treatment plan your doctor sets; this medicine is generally used as a once-daily maintenance treatment, and the maximum daily amount should follow the prescriber’s instructions for this exact product. Do not change the dose on your own, because this strength is meant for patients who have already been assessed and need this specific maintenance dose.

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