Duova Inhaler 200mdi contains two active ingredients:

• Tiotropium (9 mcg): This is an anticholinergic agent, specifically a muscarinic antagonist. It works by blocking the action of acetylcholine, a natural substance in your body that causes airway muscles to tighten. By preventing this tightening action, tiotropium helps keep your airways open for extended periods, improving airflow to your lungs.

• Formoterol fumarate (6 mcg): This is a long-acting beta2-adrenergic agonist (LABA) that stimulates specific receptors in your lungs called beta2 receptors. This stimulation causes the muscles around your airways to relax, which helps widen the airways and makes breathing easier.

• Store at room temperature.

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

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

• Keep out of reach of children.

• Do not use after the expiry date printed on the package.

• Avoid smoking and secondhand smoke exposure, as these can worsen chronic obstructive pulmonary disease symptoms and reduce the effectiveness of your medicine.

• Stay hydrated by drinking 8-10 glasses of water daily to help thin mucus in your airways, making it easier to clear your lungs and breathe more comfortably.
