Spiriva Caps and Device Information:

Spiriva (generic name: Tiotropium Bromide Inhalation) is an FDA approved drug which is prescribed for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). COPD is chronic bronchitis and emphysema which causes the airways to narrow. It is a powder which is inhaled with the use of an inhalation device. It is a bronchodilator which is long acting, and works by opening up the airways which promotes better breathing. Spiriva may also be used to treat bronchospasm, the narrowing of airways, in patients with bronchitis and emphysema. The HandiHaler device to inhale the powder capsules comes with Spiriva. Spiriva has shown to be more effective in clinical trials in treating COPD than other drugs on the market such as Boehringer’s Atrovent. The powder is released from the inhaler at 20L per minute. The capsules are light green and contain white/yellow powder.
