Tiova Rotacaps

Mechanism of Action (MOA): Tiova Rotacaps contain Tiotropium, a long-acting anticholinergic agent that inhibits muscarinic receptors in the smooth muscles of the airways. This inhibition leads to relaxation and dilation of the air passages, facilitating easier breathing.

Dosage and Administration:

• Recommended Dose: For adults, the typical dosage is one Rotacap (18 mcg) inhaled once daily.
• Administration: Use the Rotacaps with the appropriate inhalation device (e.g., Rotahaler). Do not swallow the capsules.
• First Dose: Administer the initial dose under medical supervision to monitor for potential side effects.

Side Effects: Common side effects may include:

• Dry mouth
• Sore throat
• Cough
• Hoarse voice
• Dizziness

If side effects persist or worsen, consult a healthcare provider.

Drug Interactions: Inform your doctor about all medications you are taking, including prescription, over-the-counter drugs, and herbal supplements, to avoid potential interactions.

Precautions:

• Contraindications: Not recommended for individuals allergic to Tiotropium or similar anticholinergic drugs.
• Pre-existing Conditions: Use with caution in patients with narrow-angle glaucoma, prostatic hyperplasia, or bladder-neck obstruction.
• Alcohol: It is unsafe to consume alcohol with Tiova Rotacaps.
• Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Consult a doctor before use if pregnant or breastfeeding, as Tiova Rotacaps may be unsafe during these periods.
