How Does Spiriva Work?

Spiriva inhalers contain tiotropium bromide, an active ingredient, which is a type of medication called anticholinergic bronchodilator or antimuscarinic. The active ingredient works in your lungs where it prevents receptors known as muscarinic receptors found on the muscle that surrounds your airways. This enables the muscle around your airways to relax and open, allowing you to breathe easily. Regular use of these inhalers will keep your airways open if used regularly.

Treatment with Spiriva

Spiriva is used to treat chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or COPD and severe asthma in adults and children aged 6 and older.

Recommended Dosage of Spiriva

Patients need to use Spiriva inhalers each day to prevent their airways from closing and causing breathing difficulties. Since the medication works over 24 hours, you should take your dose regularly at the same time every day. If you are using the tablet form of the medication, take one tablet one time each day. If you are using its inhaler form, use two puffs one time each day.

If you are using the tablet form, place the tablet in the inhaler. The tablet has the powder form of this medication. Pierce the tablet using the inhaler and then breathe in the powder of the dose. You should not swallow the tablets.

If you are using the inhaler form, it will come with a cartridge. Insert the cartridge into the inhaler and then take your dose.

If you forget to take your regular dose of Spiriva, take it as soon as you remember it. Do not take it if it is almost time for your next dose, but resume your normal routine the following day.
