Aerotrop F Inhalaer is used to treat and prevent respiratory disorders like asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Aerotrop F Inhalaer improves pulmonary function and effectively treats and prevents the worsening of emphysema (shortness of breath) and chronic bronchitis (inflammation of the lining of your bronchial tubes). Aerotrop F Inhalaer contains Formoterol (bronchodilator) and Tiotropium (anticholinergic). Formoterol is a long-acting β₂ agonist and bronchodilator. It relaxes the muscles in the airways and increases airflow to the lungs. It makes breathing easier by widening the airways. Tiotropium works by blocking the receptors for acetylcholine which are released in the cholinergic nerve endings in the airways.
