Tiotropium bromide
Therapy with bronchodilators forms the pharmacologic foundation of the treatment of patients with COPD. Bronchodilators can significantly lessen dyspnea, increase airflow, improve quality of life, and enhance exercise performance. While bronchodilators decrease airway resistance and lessen dynamic hyperinflation in patients with COPD, they have not been shown to alter the rate of decline in FEV...
متن کاملTiotropium Bromide: An Update
Tiotropium bromide is a once-daily inhaled anticholinergic bronchodilator. It works by blocking the muscarinic receptors in airway smooth muscle. Tiotropium has a wide therapeutic margin, due to its poor gastrointestinal absorption and its very low systemic bioavailability. The drug is mainly indicated in COPD patients.

متن کاملInhibition of granulocyte migration by tiotropium bromide
STUDY OBJECTIVES Neutrophil influx into the airways is an important mechanism in the pathophysiology of the inflammatory process in the airways of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Previously it was shown that anticholinergic drugs reduce the release of non-neuronal paracrine mediators, which modulate inflammation in the airways. On this basis, we investigated the abil...
متن کاملSkin reaction to inhaled tiotropium bromide: a case report
INTRODUCTION Systemic reactions to inhaled drugs are rare. To the best of our knowledge, we report the first case of generalized itching related to the use of tiotropium bromide, a long acting inhaled anti-cholinergic agent commonly used to treat chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. CASE PRESENTATION A 78-year-old Caucasian woman was referred to our facility for allergological evaluation. O...
