Stiolto Respimat Inhalation Spray and Woman smiling

Talking with
your doctor

The first step is open communication

Having an open discussion with your doctor is the most important step in managing your COPD. Talk to him or her about the effort required to get the medicine out of your inhaler. STIOLTO RESPIMAT delivers your medicine in a soft mist that eases the effort to inhale. That’s inhaleability.

Find the section below that addresses your current COPD needs. Write down your answers (or questions) and bring them to your doctor's office.

First time talking to your doctor about COPD? Talk about:

How long you've had symptoms
What symptoms you're having (coughing, wheezing, or shortness of breath), and how they're affecting your days and nights
Any history of breathing problems, including family history
Any medicines you're taking
Your smoking history, if any (how many years, how much, and how often). If you're a former smoker, include how long ago you quit

Also, STIOLTO RESPIMAT has been proven to improve your breathing even if you've smoked one pack a day for over 10 years.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION FOR STIOLTO RESPIMAT

Do not use STIOLTO if you have asthma. People with asthma who take
long-acting beta₂-agonist (LABA) medicines, such as olodaterol, (one of the medicines in STIOLTO), without also using a medicine called an inhaled corticosteroid, have an increased risk of serious problems from asthma, including being hospitalized, needing a tube placed in their airway to help them breathe, or death.

Do not use STIOLTO if you are allergic to tiotropium, ipratropium, atropine or similar drugs, olodaterol, or any ingredient in STIOLTO.

Call your healthcare provider or get emergency medical care if you experience symptoms of a serious allergic reaction including: rash, hives, itching, swelling of the face, lips, tongue, throat, and difficulties in breathing or swallowing.

Get emergency medical care if your breathing problems worsen quickly or if you use your rescue inhaler but it does not relieve your breathing problems. Call your healthcare provider if breathing problems worsen over time while using STIOLTO.

Do not use STIOLTO more often than prescribed by your doctor. Do not use STIOLTO with other LABAs or anticholinergics.

Do not use STIOLTO for treating sudden breathing problems. Always have a rescue inhaler with you to treat sudden symptoms.

Tell your doctor about all your medical conditions including heart problems, high blood pressure, seizures, thyroid problems, diabetes, kidney problems, glaucoma, enlarged prostate, and problems passing urine.

STIOLTO can cause serious side effects, including sudden shortness of breath that may be life threatening, fast or irregular heartbeat, increased blood pressure, chest pain, tremor, headache, nervousness, high blood sugar, or low blood potassium that may cause muscle weakness or abnormal heart rhythm. If any of these happens, stop taking STIOLTO and seek immediate medical help.

STIOLTO can cause new or worsening eye problems including narrow-angle glaucoma, and can increase the pressure in your eyes, 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 STIOLTO and call your doctor right away.

STIOLTO can cause new or worsened urinary retention. Symptoms of urinary retention may include difficulty passing urine, painful urination, urinating frequently, or urinating in a weak stream or drips. If you have any of these symptoms, stop taking STIOLTO and call your doctor right away.

The most common side effects of STIOLTO are runny nose, cough, and back pain.

Tell your doctor about all the medicines you take, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, eye drops, vitamins, and herbal supplements. STIOLTO and certain other medicines may affect each other.
