Tiate Transhaler

Tiate Transhaler is a tiotropium inhalation product used as a long-acting bronchodilator for asthma control. Each Tiate Transhaler inhaler contains the labeled strength of tiotropium for inhalation, and it is manufactured by Lupin, India. Tiotropium belongs to the anticholinergic (long-acting muscarinic antagonist, or LAMA) class, which helps keep the airways open over time. It is used to help prevent symptoms such as wheezing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath.

How it works: Tiotropium blocks muscarinic receptors in the airways, which helps relax the bronchial muscles and keeps the air passages more open. With inhaled use, Tiate Transhaler delivers the medicine directly to the lungs for long-acting control rather than quick relief.

Because Tiate Transhaler is supplied as the labeled strength only, it is intended for patients whose doctor has specifically chosen this inhaler strength for maintenance treatment. Compared with lower-strength tiotropium products, a higher labeled strength is generally used only when the prescriber has decided it fits the patient’s asthma control plan and inhaler technique needs. It is not meant for sudden breathing problems, and it will not work as a rescue medicine.

• Maintenance treatment of asthma
• Prevention of wheezing
• Reduction of chest tightness
• Help with shortness of breath
• Long-term airway opening therapy

• Use Tiate Transhaler exactly as prescribed by your doctor; do not change the dose on your own.
• Follow the inhaler instructions carefully and prime/use it as directed for this tablet-inhaler form.
• Do not swallow the tablet; use it only as directed in the inhalation device.
• Take it at the same time each day if your prescriber has told you to use it daily.
• Do not use Tiate Transhaler for sudden asthma symptoms or an attack; keep a rescue inhaler available if prescribed.
• If you miss a dose, take it when you remember unless it is close to the next dose; do not double up.

Tiate Transhaler provides the labeled tiotropium dose per inhaler, and the exact dose and number of inhalations are determined by the prescriber based on asthma severity and response. It is usually taken once daily, and the maximum daily use should not exceed the amount your doctor prescribed; more frequent use does not make it work better and may increase side effects. This is not a starting dose for everyone, so your doctor decides whether this strength is appropriate for you.

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