Airtropium 18 MCG Capsule 15 contain tiotropium (18 mcg), which works on the body as follows:

• Anticholinergic action: Tiotropium blocks acetylcholine receptors in the airway muscles, preventing this natural chemical from causing the airways to tighten and narrow.

• Bronchodilation: By inhibiting the action of acetylcholine, tiotropium causes the muscles in the airways to relax, leading to widening of the airways and improved airflow.

• Long-acting effect: The medicine provides sustained bronchodilation for approximately 24 hours, which is why it only needs to be taken once daily.

• Reduced mucus production: Tiotropium helps decrease the amount of mucus secretion in the airways, further improving breathing capacity.

• Store Airtropium 18 MCG Capsule 15 at temperatures not exceeding 25°C.

• Keep away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture.

• Do not puncture or burn the capsules, even when empty.

• Store in a safe place out of reach of children.

• Check the expiry date and do not use after this date.

• Stay well-hydrated: Drinking plenty of water throughout the day can help thin mucus in your airways, making it easier to breathe when you have chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or asthma.

• Avoid smoke and air pollution: Try to stay away from cigarette smoke, strong fumes, and heavily polluted areas, as these can worsen your breathing problems and reduce the effectiveness of your medicine.
