Trimium Transhaler

Product Introduction

Trimium Transhaler is a prescription inhalation medication used in the management of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), including chronic bronchitis and emphysema. COPD is a long-term respiratory condition that causes breathing difficulties due to airflow limitation, inflammation, and damage to the lungs. Trimium Transhaler contains a combination of three active ingredients—Ciclesonide, Formoterol, and Tiotropium—which work together to improve airflow, relieve symptoms such as breathlessness, wheezing, and persistent cough, and help prevent flare-ups or worsening of the disease.

Trimium Transhaler helps open up the airways, reduces inflammation in the lungs, and relaxes the muscles of the air passages, making it easier to breathe. Regular use of this inhaler significantly improves lung function, enhances quality of life, and reduces the frequency of hospital visits in COPD patients.

How Trimium Transhaler Works

Trimium Transhaler is a triple combination inhaler containing:

Ciclesonide (Inhaled Corticosteroid – ICS): Reduces inflammation in the airways by blocking the release of inflammatory substances. This helps in decreasing swelling and irritation in the lungs, making breathing easier.

Formoterol (Long-Acting Beta-Agonist – LABA): Relaxes the muscles surrounding the airways, keeping them open for a longer period. This helps prevent wheezing and shortness of breath.

Tiotropium (Long-Acting Muscarinic Antagonist – LAMA): Works by blocking the action of acetylcholine on airway smooth muscles, preventing muscle tightening and keeping the air passages open for better airflow.

Together, these ingredients provide a comprehensive triple therapy for COPD management by combining anti-inflammatory, bronchodilator, and anticholinergic actions.

How to Use Trimium Transhaler

Use the inhaler exactly as prescribed by your doctor.

Shake the inhaler well before each use.

Hold your breath for about 10 seconds, then breathe out slowly.

If more than one puff is prescribed, wait for 30 seconds before repeating the process.

Rinse your mouth and throat with water after each use to prevent infections such as oral thrush.
