SPIRIVA RESPIMAT
and your lungs

SPIRIVA RESPIMAT MAKES A DIFFERENCE

SPIRIVA RESPIMAT opens asthma-constricted airways for a full 24 hours. As a result, more air gets where it needs to go. And that means you can get more out of every breath.

Maintenance therapy may not be enough

How Asthma Works

Asthma makes it difficult to breathe in 2 ways: inflammation and constricted airways.

Treating Inflammation

Inhaled steroids help reduce inflammation and are important for relieving asthma symptoms.

Opening Airways

Your doctor may also prescribe a daily maintenance medication (such as a long-acting bronchodilator) that is meant to prevent airway constriction. If your current daily maintenance medication fails to control your asthma symptoms, talk to your doctor about adding steroid-free SPIRIVA RESPIMAT.

SPIRIVA RESPIMAT relaxes the muscles in constricted airways so you can breathe better. If you’re taking a daily maintenance treatment already, SPIRIVA RESPIMAT can open your airways even further—and keep them open for 24 hours.

Still feeling short of breath? There’s something more you can do

When you talk to your doctor about your symptoms, your doctor may consider increasing the dose of your inhaled steroid. Increasing the dose of inhaled steroids might not improve asthma control.

It's time to consider SPIRIVA RESPIMAT.

Indications

SPIRIVA RESPIMAT, 2.5 mcg, is a long-term, once-daily, prescription medicine used to control symptoms of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) by relaxing your airways and keeping them open. COPD includes chronic bronchitis and emphysema. SPIRIVA RESPIMAT also reduces the likelihood of COPD flare-ups (COPD exacerbations).

SPIRIVA RESPIMAT, 1.25 mcg, is a long-term, once-daily, prescription maintenance treatment of asthma for people 6 years and older.

SPIRIVA RESPIMAT is not a treatment for sudden symptoms of asthma or COPD.

Important Safety Information

Do not use SPIRIVA RESPIMAT if you are allergic to tiotropium, ipratropium, atropine or similar drugs, or any ingredient in these medicines.

SPIRIVA RESPIMAT is not a rescue medicine and should not be used for treating sudden breathing problems. Your doctor may give you other medicine to use for sudden breathing problems.

SPIRIVA RESPIMAT can cause allergic reactions. Symptoms can include raised red patches on your skin (hives), itching, rash and/or swelling of the lips, tongue, or throat that may cause difficulty in breathing or swallowing. If you have any of these symptoms, stop taking the medicine and get immediate medical care.

SPIRIVA RESPIMAT can cause your breathing to suddenly get worse (bronchospasm). If this happens, use your rescue inhaler, stop taking SPIRIVA RESPIMAT, and call your doctor right away or seek emergency medical care.

SPIRIVA RESPIMAT can increase the pressure in your eyes (acute narrow-angle glaucoma), which can cause the following symptoms: eye pain, blurred vision, seeing halos or colored images along with red eyes. If you have any of these symptoms, stop taking your medicine and call your doctor right away.

Dizziness and blurred vision may occur with SPIRIVA RESPIMAT. If you experience these symptoms, use caution when engaging in activities such as driving a car, or operating appliances or other machines.

SPIRIVA RESPIMAT can cause new or worsened urinary retention. Symptoms of blockage in your bladder and/or enlarged prostate may include difficulty passing urine and/or painful urination. If you have any of these symptoms, stop taking your medicine and call your doctor right away.

The most common side effects reported with SPIRIVA RESPIMAT in patients with COPD include sore throat, cough, dry mouth, and sinus infection.

The most common side effects with SPIRIVA RESPIMAT in adult patients with asthma were sore throat, headache, bronchitis, and sinus infection. The side effect profile for adolescent and pediatric patients was comparable to that observed in adult patients with asthma.

Do not spray SPIRIVA RESPIMAT into your eyes, as this may cause blurring of vision and pupil dilation.

Tell your doctor all the medicines you take, including eye drops. Ask your doctor if you are taking any anticholinergic medicines because taking them together with SPIRIVA RESPIMAT can increase side effects.

You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA. Visit www.FDA.gov/medwatch or call 1-800-FDA-1088.
