Safely Buy Spiriva Respimat ( Tiotropium Bromide ) from Canada Prescriptions Plus.

Indications

Spiriva Respimat is an inhaler used to prevent bronchospasm in adults with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) as well as asthma attacks in adults and children over 6 years of age.

Tiotropium is a bronchodilator that relaxes the muscles in your airways to reduce obstructions and improve airflow in those with asthma or COPD by spraying soft mist into your respiratory system. Thanks to its anticholinergic and antimuscarinic properties, Spiriva Respimat helps improve quality of life by decreasing the frequency of bronchospasm and asthma attacks.

This inhaler medication is an effective therapy for COPD and asthma that offers a low incidence of adverse effects. Dry mouth is the only common side effect which is tolerable and often avoidable.

FAQ

How can Spiriva Respimat help?

Spiriva Respimat improves airflow and reduces bronchospasm attacks by delivering a soft mist into your respiratory system. The mist allows tiotropium to be absorbed and relaxes the muscles in your airways to ease your breathing. Thanks to this, the medication helps prevent airway obstructions.

What is the difference between rescue and maintenance treatment?

Rescue inhalers treat bronchospasm attacks that have already begun whereas maintenance treatments help manage and relieve symptoms of COPD. Spiriva Respimat is a maintenance medication designed to help decrease the frequency and severity of attacks but is not suitable to treat any that have already begun.
