Stiolto Respimat Inhaler
This medication is a prescription drug used for the long-term (daily) maintenance therapy for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Chronic bronchitis and emphysema are two diseases that make up COPD.
This medication isn’t designed to be used for COPD-related respiratory difficulties that come on suddenly. It’s also not authorized for the treatment of asthma.
Medication forms and strengths
Stiolto Respimat is made up of two parts:
- Inhaler Respimat (device)
- The medicine is included in a Respimat cartridge (tiotropium and olodaterol)
You must first place the cartridge into the inhaler before using it for the first time. Step-by-step instructions may be found on the manufacturer’s website under “How to use Stiolto.”
Each puff contains 2.5 micrograms of tiotropium and 2.5 micrograms of olodaterol. Each cartridge contains 60 puffs (30 doses).
Dosage for COPD maintenance
In order to treat (COPD), two puffs of Stiolto Respimat are administered once a day.
A total of 5 mcg of tiotropium and 5 mcg of olodaterol are delivered in two puffs
Is Stiolto Respimat a Steroid
No, there is no steroid in Stiolto Respimat.
Instead, Stiolto Respimat is made up of two active ingredients:
1. Tiotropium is a long-acting anticholinergic (LAMAs)
2. Olodaterol is a long-acting beta2-agonist (LABAs)
Long term use of both LAMAs and LABAs function to relax the smooth muscle of your airways. Therefore, they both improve lung function, shortness of breath, health status, and reduce exacerbations of COPD.
Stiolto Respimat is available as an inhaler known as Stiolto Respimat. (The inhaler device is called Respimat.) This medication is inhaled once a day (puffs). There are 2.5 micrograms (mcg) of tiotropium and 2.5 mcg of olodaterol in each puff.
