About Duova Inhaler 200 mdi
Duova Inhaler 200 mdi is a respiratory medication primarily used to treat and prevent asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD) like bronchitis (inflammation of the lining of your bronchial tubes) and emphysema (shortness of breath). Asthma is a chronic (long-term) respiratory condition in which airways narrow, swell and produce extra mucus, leading to difficulty breathing. COPD is a group of lung diseases that causes obstructed airflow from the lungs.
Duova Inhaler 200 mdi is a combination of Formoterol (bronchodilator) and Tiotropium (anticholinergic). Formoterol relaxes the muscles in the airways and increases airflow to the lungs. Formoterol makes breathing easier by widening the airways. Tiotropium works by blocking the receptors for acetylcholine released in the cholinergic nerve endings in the airways. Duova Inhaler 200 mdi relaxes and widens the airway's openings, making it easier for the air to get in and out of the lungs. Thereby, it helps to prevent asthma attacks.
Your doctor will advise on how often you need to use Duova Inhaler 200 mdi based on your medical condition. The common side effects of Duova Inhaler 200 mdi include nausea, vomiting, respiratory tract infection, headache, sore throat, cough, bone, muscle or joint pain, increased heart rate, chills, tiredness, and noisy breathing. Most of these side effects of Duova Inhaler 200 mdi do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.
Do not use Duova Inhaler 200 mdi to treat sudden severe symptoms of asthma or as a rescue inhaler. Please check with your doctor if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking other prescribed or non-prescribed medicines. Brief your medical history if you have heart, liver, or kidney diseases, high blood pressure, hypokalaemia (low potassium levels in the blood), aneurysm (swelling of an artery), pheochromocytoma (adrenal gland tumour), hyperadrenocorticism (high levels of cortisol), eye disorders like cataract and glaucoma, chickenpox or measles, immune system problem, seizure (fits), osteoporosis (weak and brittle bones) or diabetes.
