Tiova Synchrobreathe Inhaler (Tiotropium Bromide)

• Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
• Long-term maintenance treatment for chronic breathing problems
• Asthma, when prescribed by a doctor
• Relief of symptoms such as wheezing, cough, chest tightness, and shortness of breath

This medicine is prescribed for regular control of symptoms and prevention of worsening episodes, not for emergency relief of sudden bronchospasm. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}

This medicine works by blocking the action of acetylcholine on muscarinic receptors in the airways. This relaxes the airway muscles, widens the air passages, and helps air move in and out of the lungs more easily for a longer period. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}

• Use this medicine exactly as prescribed by your doctor.
• Hold the inhaler correctly and check the label or leaflet for directions before use.
• Breathe out fully away from the mouthpiece.
• Place the mouthpiece between your lips.
• Inhale through the mouthpiece as directed so the dose is released properly.
• Hold your breath for about 10 seconds after inhalation.
• Repeat only if your doctor has prescribed more than one puff.
• Use the inhaler at the same time every day for best results.

Current product instructions mention inhalation use only, breath coordination guidance, and holding the breath after use. Some current pharmacy pages also mention rinsing the mouth after use; while that is commonly advised on inhaler instructions, tiotropium itself is not a steroid, so the main point is to follow the exact leaflet guidance for your device. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}

Tiova Synchrobreathe is currently listed with Tiotropium Bromide 9 mcg and commonly sold as a 120-metered-dose inhaler. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}

Usual Dose:
The exact number of puffs should be decided by your doctor based on your condition. Use only the prescribed dose and do not increase the number of inhalations on your own. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}

Missed Dose:
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue your regular schedule. Do not take extra doses to make up for the missed one.

Overdose:
Overdose may increase the chance of side effects such as dry mouth, blurred vision, constipation, fast heartbeat, or difficulty passing urine. Seek medical advice promptly if overdose is suspected. This adverse-effect pattern is consistent with tiotropium’s anticholinergic action. :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}
