Composition:

TIOTROPIUM-18MCG

Uses:

Asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

Medicinal Benefits:

Pulmotrop Axacap belongs to the group of anti-asthmatic medicines called bronchodilators used to treat asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). Pulmotrop Axacap works by blocking the receptors for acetylcholine which are released in the cholinergic nerve endings in the airways. Pulmotrop Axacap relaxes and widens the airway's openings, making it easier for the air to get in and out of the lungs. Thereby helps in treating asthma and COPD. Regular use of Pulmotrop Axacap can help with ongoing shortness of breath related to diseases like asthma. Daily use of Pulmotrop Axacap can also help prevent sudden, short-term worsening of COPD symptoms that might last for several days. Pulmotrop Axacap is also used as an adjunct to other medicines to treat asthma.
