TIova 9mcg Inhaler is a prescription maintenance inhaler marketed by Cipla that contains Tiotropium 9mcg per metered dose. Tiotropium is a long acting anticholinergic bronchodilator that keeps the muscles around the airways relaxed for a full day, so the breathing passages stay open and air moves in and out more easily. Doctors prescribe it for regular treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and, in some patients, as an add on therapy in asthma, to reduce breathlessness, cough and flare ups. It is a preventer that works steadily over time and is not meant for sudden attacks, so a separate quick relief inhaler should always be kept nearby. The canister provides 200 metered doses and is usually taken once a day at the same time. It is a Schedule H medicine and should be used only as advised by your doctor, who will fix the dose for you. Regular use as directed gives the best long term control.
