Tiotropium bromide
Tiotropium bromide is a drug used as a bronchodilator. It helps people with COPD and asthma.[1] It is used when people have trouble breathing to help them breathe better. It is used by breathing it through the mouth.[1] Its effects last for 24 hours.[1][2]
Some side effects can happen from using it, such as having a dry mouth, runny nose, headache, or having problems with breathing. There are also serious side effects that could happen, such as angioedema and bronchospasms. It has not been proven to be bad to use while pregnant, but this has not been studied very much.[3] In 2020, there were more than 5 million prescriptions for tiotropium bromide in the United States.[4]
