Tiova Rotacaps 30

Tiova Rotacap is used in adults for the long-term control of breathing symptoms in COPD and asthma, helping to keep the airways open through the day.

Uses of Tiova Rotacap are:

• COPD: Helps manage chronic obstructive pulmonary disease by widening the airways and easing breathing.
• Asthma: Used alongside other medicines for long-term asthma management.
• Symptom Relief: Reduces wheezing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath to improve day-to-day breathing.

Here's how you should use Tiova Rotacap:

• Inhale the contents of rotacap using the provided rotacap device.
• Do not swallow the rotacaps; they are intended for inhalation only.
• Store the rotacaps in their original package and remove only immediately before use.
• If you have any questions about how to use this medicine, consult your doctor.

Tiova Rotacap is administered by inhalation.

Tiova Rotacap contains tiotropium (18 mcg) and its mode of operation in the body is as follows:

• Inhibition of M3 Receptors: Tiotropium works by blocking M3 receptors found on the smooth muscle lining your airways. These receptors are generally involved in muscle contraction and mucus secretion.
• Bronchodilation: By inhibiting these receptors, tiotropium results in the relaxation and widening of the airways, a process known as bronchodilation. This eases breathing in patients with COPD and asthma.
• Long Duration of Effect: Tiotropium provides a long duration of effect, typically greater than 24 hours, likely due to its slow disengagement from the M3 receptors.

• Store Tiova Rotacap in a cool, dry place where the temperature stays below 30°C.
• Shield it from direct sunlight and excessive heat.
• It's crucial to keep this medicine out of reach and sight of children.
• Remember to utilise the medication before its expiry date.

• If you're managing chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or asthma with Tiova Rotacap, ensure that your diet is rich in fruits and vegetables. These foods are high in antioxidants which can help protect your lungs from damage.
• Regular exercise is beneficial as it helps improve lung capacity. However, always consult your doctor before embarking on any new fitness regimen.
