Generic Tiotropium Bromide Information

Introduction

Tiotropium Bromide is a long‑acting anticholinergic bronchodilator used primarily for the maintenance therapy of obstructive airway diseases.
The active compound—Tiotropium Bromide—belongs to the medication group of inhaled therapies for asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
In Hong Kong, the drug is recognised by the Department of Health and is listed on the Hong Kong Pharmaceutical Products Register for both asthma and COPD management.

What is Tiotropium Bromide?

Tiotropium Bromide is the generic version of Spiriva®, the original brand developed by Boehringer Ingelheim. Both formulations contain the identical active molecule, Tiotropium Bromide, and are delivered via a breath‑activated inhaler.
Our online pharmacy provides this generic alternative as a cost‑effective treatment option, meeting the same quality standards as the reference brand.

How Tiotropium Bromide Works

Tiotropium is a selective antagonist of the muscarinic‑type 3 (M3) receptors located on airway smooth muscle. By blocking acetylcholine’s action on these receptors, the drug reduces parasympathetic‑mediated bronchoconstriction, leading to sustained airway dilation.

• Onset of action: bronchodilation is observed within 30 minutes after inhalation.
• Duration: therapeutic effects persist for 24 hours, permitting once‑daily dosing.
• Clearance: Tiotropium is eliminated largely unchanged via the kidneys; systemic exposure is minimal because the drug is designed for local pulmonary activity.

Conditions Treated with Tiotropium Bromide

Who is Tiotropium Bromide For?

• Adults with persistent asthma whose disease remains uncontrolled despite inhaled corticosteroids, particularly those who experience frequent night‑time symptoms or exercise‑induced bronchospasm.
• Stable COPD patients who require additional bronchodilation beyond a long‑acting β₂‑agonist, especially those with a history of exacerbations or hyperinflation.
• Patients with asthma‑COPD overlap who benefit from a non‑steroidal bronchodilator with a long duration of action.

Tiotropium is not recommended for individuals with acute bronchospasm, severe renal impairment (creatinine clearance < 30 mL/min), or known hypersensitivity to anticholinergic agents.

Risks, Side Effects, and Interactions

Common

• Dry mouth
• Cough (especially after first dosing)
• Throat irritation

These events are usually mild, transient, and do not require medical intervention.

Rare

• Urinary retention, particularly in patients with enlarged prostate.
• Dysphoria or mood changes (reported in <.1 % of users).

Monitoring for these symptoms is advisable in at‑risk populations.

Serious

• Acute glaucoma attacks (angle‑closure) – anticholinergic effect can precipitate increased intra‑ocular pressure.
• Severe respiratory throat irritation leading to bronchospasm – may require emergency treatment.

Any serious adverse reaction mandates immediate discontinuation and urgent medical assessment.

Clinically Relevant Drug Interactions

• Concurrent β₂‑agonists: additive bronchodilation is expected; no dose adjustment needed.
• Oral anticholinergics (e.g., atropine): potential for additive anticholinergic toxicity – monitor for signs such., constipation, tachycardia.
• Cytochrome P450 inhibitors (e.g., ketoconazole): minimal effect on Tiotropium metabolism but caution is advised in polypharmacy.

Practical Use: Dosing, Missed Dose, Overdose

• Standard adult dose: one inhalation (18 µg) of Tiotropium Bromide via a breath‑activated device once daily, preferably at the same time each day.
• Missed dose: If a dose is forgotten, take it as soon as possible on the same day. Do not double‑dose the next day.
• Overdose: Accidental administration of >2 inhalations in 24 hours is considered overdose. Patients should seek emergency medical attention; treatment is symptomatic, focusing on anticholinergic toxicity (e.g., supportive hydration, monitoring cardiac rhythm).

Practical Precautions

• Avoid administering the inhaler immediately after meals or heavy alcohol consumption, as rapid inhalation may be compromised.
• For individuals with severe renal dysfunction, dose reduction to 9 µg (single capsule) once daily may be considered under professional supervision.
• Store the inhaler at room temperature (≤25 °C) and keep moisture away from the device.

FAQ

• Is Tiotropium Bromide available in both brand‑name and generic forms in Hong Kong?
  Yes, the medication is sold under the brand name Spiriva® and as a generic version called Tiotropium Bromide. Both contain the same active ingredient and are approved by the Hong Kong Department of Health.

• Does Tiotropium Bromide require cold storage?
  No, the inhaler should be kept at standard room temperature (15 °C–25 °C). Refrigeration is unnecessary and may affect device performance.

• What packaging does Tiotropium Bromide come in when ordered online?
  The product is supplied in a sealed, tamper‑evident inhaler cartridge, surrounded by a protective outer box. When shipped from our online pharmacy, it is placed inside a discreet, temperature‑stable parcel.

• Can Tiotropium Bromide be safely imported for personal use into Hong Kong?
  Personal import of a single‑dose quantity for a declared medical need is permitted by Hong Kong customs, provided the product is for personal use and not for resale.

• Are there specific safety warnings for Asian populations?
  The Hong Kong Centre for Health Protection notes a slightly higher prevalence of glaucoma in East Asian adults; therefore, patients with a history of narrow‑angle glaucoma should discuss use of Tiotropium with a physician.

• Does the formulation differ between regions (e.g., US vs EU vs Asia)?
  The active ingredient and inhaler design are consistent worldwide, but excipients such as propellants may vary according to local regulatory requirements.

• What is the mechanism behind Tiotropium’s 24‑hour bronchodilation?
  Tiotropium binds with high affinity and prolonged residence time to M3 receptors, preventing receptor re‑activation for up to 24 hours, which underlies its once‑daily dosing schedule.

• Which clinical trials established the efficacy of Tiotropium for asthma?
  The TALC (Tiotropium as add‑on to beclomethasone) and the PrimoLoC‑OCT studies demonstrated significant reductions in exacerbation rates and improvements in lung function when Tiotropium was added to inhaled corticosteroids.

• How does Tiotropium compare to the older anticholinergic ipratropium?
  Tiotropium has a longer receptor residence time, allowing once‑daily dosing, whereas ipratropium requires multiple daily administrations. Tiotropium consequently provides more sustained bronchodilation and lower systemic exposure.

• Is moisture a concern for the inhaler’s performance?
  Yes, high humidity can impede the breath‑activated mechanism. Users should store the inhaler in a dry environment and avoid bathroom storage where steam may accumulate.

Glossary

M3 Muscarinic receptor

A subtype of acetylcholine receptor located on airway smooth muscle; activation leads to bronchoconstriction.

Bronchospasm

Sudden tightening of the airway muscles caused by inflammation or stimulus, resulting in airflow limitation.

Renal clearance

The volume of plasma from which a drug is completely removed by the kidneys per unit time; important for drugs eliminated unchanged.

Anticholinergic toxicity

A condition arising from excessive blockade of acetylcholine receptors, potentially causing dry mouth, blurred vision, urinary retention, or tachycardia.
