How long does Tiotropium take to work?

Tiotropium begins to take effect within 30 minutes, with noticeable improvement in breathing after the first dose. Full benefits are typically experienced within 3 days to a week.

Can I prevent my COPD from getting worse?

Quitting smoking is crucial for slowing the progression of COPD. Continue taking prescribed medications as directed by your doctor, as adherence can help prevent disease progression.

What should I avoid while taking Tiotropium?
