Product Description
TIOMATE is a combination medication used for the management of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It combines the active ingredients Tiotropium Bromide and Formoterol Fumarate in a transhaler device, providing convenient and effective inhalation therapy. Tiotropium Bromide is a long-acting anticholinergic bronchodilator that helps relax the airway muscles, allowing easier breathing. Formoterol Fumarate is a long-acting beta-agonist that helps to open the airways and improve lung function. Together, these two medications provide bronchodilation and symptom relief, helping patients with COPD to breathe more easily. TIOMATE helps manage symptoms such as shortness of breath, wheezing, and cough in COPD patients.
