Tiotropium opens the airways to make breathing easier; it is to be used once daily or as directed by your doctor. It is not meant to be used as a rescue medication therefore this medication must be taken daily at the same time each morning.
Generic Spiriva vs Brand Spiriva
Generic Spiriva is chemically and therapeutically the same as the brand by Boehringer-Ingelheim. Generic Spiriva (also called Tiova made by Cipla in India) and brand Spiriva are identical in dose, strength, safety, efficacy and its intended use. The most significant difference between the brand and generic is the manufacturer; the brand is manufactured by Boehringer-Ingelheim and the generic is manufactured outside of a Boehringer-Ingelheim facility.
