About Aerotrop Inhalation Capsules
AEROTROP INHALER belongs to the group of anti-asthmatic medicines called bronchodilators 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).
AEROTROP INHALER contains ‘Tiotropium’ which works by blocking the receptors for acetylcholine which are released in the cholinergic nerve endings in the airways. AEROTROP INHALER relaxes and widens the airway’s openings, making it easier for the air to get in and out of the lungs. Thereby, provides relief from asthma and COPD.
AEROTROP INHALER is meant for inhalation only; do not swallow AEROTROP INHALER. Use AEROTROP INHALER as prescribed. You are advised to use AEROTROP INHALER 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 taking AEROTROP INHALER on your own as it might cause worsening of symptoms. Consult your doctor before taking AEROTROP INHALER if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. AEROTROP INHALER may cause dizziness, so drive with caution. Avoid consuming alcohol as it might cause increased dizziness. AEROTROP INHALER is not recommended for children below 6years 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.
