Spiriva 18mcg Inhalation Powder is a prescription-strength, long-acting anticholinergic bronchodilator designed to help keep the airways open, making it easier to breathe. Supplied with the specialized HandiHaler dry powder inhaler device, each pack contains 30 capsules for chronic respiratory management.
This prescribed maintenance treatment is recommended for the long-term, once-daily control and prevention of bronchospasm associated with:
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD): Including chronic bronchitis and emphysema.
Severe Asthma: Used as an add-on maintenance therapy in adult patients with persistent symptoms.
The active ingredient is Tiotropium Bromide:
Airway Relaxation: It blocks acetylcholine receptors in the smooth muscles of the airways (bronchi), preventing them from tightening.
Prolonged Bronchodilation: This keeps the airways relaxed and open for a full 24 hours, reducing shortness of breath, wheezing, and COPD flare-ups.
Emergency Use: Spiriva is a long-term maintenance medication. It should not be used to treat sudden, acute bronchospasm or sudden asthma attacks. Always keep a fast-acting rescue inhaler (such as albuterol) with you for sudden breathing emergencies.
Narrow-Angle Glaucoma & Prostate Issues: Be careful not to let the powder get into your eyes, as it can worsen narrow-angle glaucoma or cause blurred vision. Inform your doctor if you have urinary retention or prostate enlargement before use.
Standard Dosing:
Inhale the contents of 1 capsule once daily at the same time each day using the HandiHaler device.
How to Use the HandiHaler:
Open the dust cap and mouthpiece of the HandiHaler.
Place one Spiriva capsule into the central chamber.
Firmly close the mouthpiece until you hear a click.
Press the green piercing button completely once to pierce the capsule.
Breathe out completely away from the inhaler, place the mouthpiece to your lips, and take a deep, steady breath so the capsule vibrates as you inhale.
Hold your breath for a few seconds, then exhale. Open the chamber to discard the empty capsule.
Do Not Swallow Capsules: Spiriva capsules are for inhalation only using the device; they must never be swallowed orally.
While generally well-tolerated, potential side effects can include:
Dry mouth, sore throat, or mild throat irritation
Cough or mild nasal congestion
Rare urinary hesitation or blurred vision if powder contacts the eyes
Store below 25°C or 30°C in a dry place, protected from high humidity and direct sunlight.
Keep capsules sealed in their blister strips until immediately before use.
Keep strictly out of reach and sight of children.
No. The HandiHaler device is specifically engineered and tested to be used exclusively with Spiriva capsules. Do not attempt to use it with other medications or inhaler capsules.
If you miss a daily dose, take it as soon as you remember. However, do not take two doses on the same day or take more than one capsule in a 24-hour period.
