Spiriva Handihaler
Spiriva HandiHaler is a prescription medication used for the long-term, once-daily, maintenance treatment of bronchospasm associated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), including chronic bronchitis and emphysema. It contains the active ingredient tiotropium bromide, which is a long-acting bronchodilator that helps to open airways and makes breathing easier.
How is this medication used?
To use the Spiriva HandiHaler, insert a capsule of the medication into the device and puncture the capsule by closing the device. Then, breathe in the powder through the mouthpiece of the HandiHaler. This should be done once daily at the same time each day.
What are the possible side effects?
Common side effects include dry mouth, sore throat, sinus infection, and headache. Less common side effects can include upper respiratory tract infection, bronchitis, cough, and urinary tract infection. Serious side effects may include allergic reactions, such as rash, itching, or swelling, as well as difficulty breathing or swallowing.
What are the potential interactions?
Spiriva HandiHaler can interact with other anticholinergic drugs, which can increase the risk of side effects. It may also interact with certain medications for Parkinson's disease, urinary or bladder medications, and some antidepressants. Inform your healthcare provider about all medications and supplements you are taking to avoid potential interactions.
