About Solbihale T Redicaps

Solbihale T Redicaps belongs to the group of anti-asthmatic medicines called bronchodilators used to treat asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). 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 with emphysema (shortness of breath) and chronic bronchitis (inflammation of the lining of bronchial tubes).

Solbihale T Redicaps contains ‘Tiotropium’ which works by blocking the receptors for acetylcholine which are released in the cholinergic nerve endings in the airways. Solbihale T Redicaps relaxes and widens the airway's openings, making it easier for the air to get in and out of the lungs. Thereby, provides relief from asthma and COPD.
