What is Spiriva Respimat?

Spiriva Respimat is a mist inhaler approved by the FDA to treat certain breathing problems. Unlike the Spiriva Handihaler, which contains a powder, Spiriva Respimat delivers a slow-moving mist.

Spiriva Respimat contains tiotropium bromide, which belongs to a group of medicines called long-acting muscarinic antagonists, also known as anticholinergics. Spiriva Respimat is used to prevent the narrowing of the airways in the lungs (bronchospasms). As a maintenance treatment, tiotropium helps relax and open the airways. This bronchodilator treats chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), including chronic bronchitis and emphysema, in adults. It may also be used to prevent asthma attacks in adults and children six years and older.

Spiriva Respimat improves breathing by relaxing the air passages that carry air to and from the lungs. This action also helps to reduce exacerbations (worsening of symptoms), which can sometimes lead to hospitalizations in severe cases. Spiriva helps prevent symptoms such as wheezing, difficulty breathing, and constant coughing.

What doses of Spiriva Respimat are available?

Spiriva Respimat is a long-term, once-daily, prescription maintenance treatment available in strengths of 1.25 mcg per actuation and 2.5 mcg per actuation. Spiriva Respimat should not be used as a rescue inhaler to treat sudden shortness of breath or wheezing from asthma or COPD.

What are the side effects of Spiriva Respimat?

Dry mouth, sore throat, cough, inflammation of the sinuses (sinusitis), and headache are some common side effects of Spiriva Respimat. Other common side effects may include reflux, palpitations, dizziness, constipation, and voice changes.

Using Spiriva Respimat can lead to narrow-angle glaucoma, which develops suddenly and can lead to sudden and permanent vision loss. If you have any vision changes, get medical help right away. 

Spiriva Respimat may also cause sudden worsening breathing symptoms, a condition known as paradoxical bronchospasm. If this happens, you should use your rescue inhaler, stop using Spiriva Respimat, and call your healthcare provider right away or get emergency help if needed.

Those with benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate) or other bladder problems may experience worsening urinary retention with Spiriva Respimat. 

In rare cases, allergic reactions are possible and include symptoms like hives, swelling, and trouble breathing. These symptoms require emergency medical help. 

Let your healthcare provider know if you experience any of these side effects. A healthcare professional can provide medical advice about these and other possible side effects before you use the Spiriva Respimat inhalation spray.

Is Spiriva Respimat a steroid? 

Spiriva Respimat is not a steroid. It is classified as a long-acting antimuscarinic agent (LAMA), also referred to as an anticholinergic medication. It works by relaxing muscles in the airways of the lungs, helping to keep them open and making breathing easier. It is used for long-term symptom control. It is not a rescue inhaler and should not be used for an acute attack. 

When should you take Spiriva Respimat?

Spiriva Respimat is usually taken once daily. It may take up to one or two months to see the full benefit of this medication.
