Tiotrop Rotacap

Tiotrop Rotacap is a tiotropium-containing inhalation capsule used for long-term control of breathing symptoms in asthma when a doctor prescribes it. This product delivers tiotropium in a rotacap form for inhalation; the exact amount per capsule is the labeled strength on the pack, and one strip/box contains 10 packs. Tiotropium is a long-acting anticholinergic bronchodilator, which helps keep the airways open and makes breathing easier over time. It is not a rescue medicine for sudden wheezing or an acute asthma attack.

How it works: Tiotropium blocks muscarinic receptors in the airways, which relaxes the muscles around the breathing tubes and helps them stay open longer. In Tiotrop Rotacap form, the medicine is inhaled into the lungs, where it works locally to improve airflow and reduce daily breathing symptoms.

Tiotrop Rotacap is the labeled strength for patients whose doctor has decided they need this specific tiotropium rotacap dose and delivery form. Compared with lower-strength options, this strength is intended for people who need a stronger maintenance effect rather than quick relief, so it should be used exactly as prescribed and not swapped with another form or strength without medical advice.

• Maintenance treatment of asthma
• Long-term bronchodilation
• Prevention of wheezing and chest tightness
• Help with shortness of breath due to asthma
• Control of airway narrowing over time

• Use Tiotrop Rotacap only with the inhalation device your doctor or pharmacist recommends for rotacaps.
• Do not swallow the capsule; it is meant to be inhaled, not taken by mouth.
• Open the rotacap only when you are ready to use it, then inhale the powder as directed.
• Take it at the same time each day if your prescriber has told you to use it once daily.
• Do not use it for sudden asthma symptoms; keep your rescue inhaler available.
• If you miss a dose, use it when remembered unless it is almost time for the next dose; do not double up.

Tiotrop Rotacap provides tiotropium in the exact labeled strength on each rotacap, with a 10-pack strip/box supply. It is commonly used once daily, but the exact schedule and whether this strength is right for you are decided by the prescriber. Do not exceed the prescribed daily amount; using more does not give faster relief and may increase side effects.

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

• Tell your clinician about all inhaled medicines, especially other anticholinergic drugs.
