About Trimium Transhaler
Trimium Transhaler belongs to the class 'respiratory stimulants', which are primarily used to treat asthma symptoms and chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (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).
Trimium Transhaler is a combination of three drugs: Tiotropium (anti-cholinergic), Formoterol (LABA - long-acting beta-agonists or bronchodilator), and ciclesonide (corticosteroid). Tiotropium is an anti-cholinergic, and formoterol is a bronchodilator. Both medicines work by relaxing the airway muscles and widen the airways. These medicines together making it easier for asthma and COPD patients to breathe. Whereas ciclesonide is a corticosteroid, it acts by stopping the release of certain natural substances in the body that are responsible for inflammation of the airways.
Your doctor will recommend how often you take Trimium Transhaler based on your medical condition. Some people may experience side effects like a fungal infection in the mouth, vomiting, nausea, headache, sore throat, hoarse voice, upper respiratory tract infection, flu, cough, Musculoskeletal (bone, muscle, or joint) pain, increased heart rate, and trembling. Most of these side effects of Trimium Transhaler do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, stop the medicine and consult your doctor.
If you are allergic to lactose (a form of sugar) or have lactose intolerance, Trimium Transhaler, or any other ingredients, please tell your doctor. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, it is advised to inform your doctor before using Trimium Transhaler. Trimium Transhaler is not recommended for children below 6 years of age. If your breathing worsens or you often wake up at night with asthma, experience chest tightness in the morning, or last longer than usual, please consult a doctor immediately. These might be signs indicating that your asthma is not controlled properly and requires an alternate or additional treatment. Regular monitoring of potassium levels is recommended while taking Trimium Transhaler as it may cause low potassium levels in the blood. If you have high blood pressure, diabetes, hypokalaemia (low potassium levels in the blood), glaucoma, cataracts, osteoporosis (weak bones), fits, immune system problems, chickenpox, measles, thyroid, lung, heart, liver, or adrenal gland problems, tuberculosis inform your doctor before taking Trimium Transhaler. Trimium Transhaler should be used with caution in patients with narrow-angle glaucoma, prostatic hyperplasia, or bladder neck obstruction.
