About Tiomist Respicaps
Tiomist Respicaps is used to treat asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). 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 with emphysema (shortness of breath) and chronic bronchitis (inflammation of the lining of bronchial tubes).
Tiomist Respicaps contains ‘Tiotropium’, which works by blocking the receptors for acetylcholine, which are released in the cholinergic nerve endings in the airways. Tiomist Respicaps relaxes and widens the airway's openings, making it easier for the air to get in and out of the lungs. Thus, it provides relief from asthma and COPD.
You are advised to use Tiomist Respicaps for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience certain common side effects such as dry mouth, stomach upset, constipation, blurred vision, chest pain and cold symptoms. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.
Please do not stop using Tiomist Respicaps on your own, as it might cause worsening of symptoms. Consult your doctor before using Tiomist Respicaps if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Tiomist Respicaps may cause dizziness, so drive with caution. Avoid consuming alcohol as it might cause increased dizziness. Tiomist Respicaps is not recommended for children below 6 years as the safety and effectiveness have not been established. Keep your doctor informed about your health condition and the medicines you are taking to avoid unpleasant side effects.
