Tiomate Transhaler

Tiomate Transhaler

Introduction

Tiomate Transhaler is a prescription inhaler used for the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), which includes conditions such as chronic bronchitis and emphysema. It contains two active ingredients – Tiotropium, a long-acting muscarinic antagonist (LAMA), and Formoterol, a long-acting beta-agonist (LABA). Together, they help relax the airway muscles, widen the air passages, and make breathing easier for patients with long-term lung diseases.
