Spiriva HandiHaler Refills

Spiriva HandiHaler Refills are used to manage chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), a condition that obstructs airflow in the lungs. These refills contain capsules designed for use with the Spiriva HandiHaler device, which helps improve breathing by delivering medication directly to the lungs.

Benefits

Spiriva HandiHaler Refills contain tiotropium, a bronchodilator that relaxes lung muscles and opens airways, making it easier to breathe. While it does not cure COPD, it can help slow the progression of the disease and improve quality of life by reducing symptoms.

How to Use

Use Spiriva exactly as prescribed by your doctor, typically once a day. Insert a capsule into the HandiHaler, puncture it, and inhale the medication deeply twice. Discard the used capsule after inhalation. Do not share your medication with others.

Possible Side Effects

Common side effects may include dry mouth, blurred vision, constipation, indigestion, and nasal congestion. While these are generally mild, consult your doctor if you experience severe or persistent side effects.

Warnings and Precautions

Inform your doctor if you have conditions such as glaucoma, kidney disease, or an enlarged prostate, or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Avoid using Spiriva if you are allergic to any of its ingredients.

Storage

Store Spiriva HandiHaler Refills in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep out of reach of children and pets.
