About Airtiof Insta Rotacap 30's

Airtiof Insta Rotacap 30's is a respiratory medication primarily used to treat and prevent asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD) like bronchitis (inflammation of the lining of your bronchial tubes) and emphysema (shortness of breath). Asthma is a chronic (long-term) respiratory condition in which airways narrow, swell and produce extra mucus, leading to difficulty breathing. COPD is a group of lung diseases that causes obstructed airflow from the lungs.

Airtiof Insta Rotacap 30's is a combination of Formoterol (bronchodilator) and Tiotropium (anticholinergic). Formoterol relaxes the muscles in the airways and increases airflow to the lungs. Formoterol makes breathing easier by widening the airways. Tiotropium works by blocking the receptors for acetylcholine released in the cholinergic nerve endings in the airways. Airtiof Insta Rotacap 30's relaxes and widens the airway's openings, making it easier for the air to get in and out of the lungs. Thereby, it helps to prevent asthma attacks.

Your doctor will advise on how often you need to use Airtiof Insta Rotacap 30's based on your medical condition. The common side effects of Airtiof Insta Rotacap 30's include nausea, vomiting, respiratory tract infection, headache, sore throat, cough, bone, muscle or joint pain, increased heart rate, chills, tiredness, and noisy breathing. Most of these side effects of Airtiof Insta Rotacap 30's do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.

Please check with your doctor if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking other prescribed or non-prescribed medicines.
