Patient summary

Indicated for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, formulated to alleviate breathing difficulties and support respiratory function in patients managing long-term lung health.

Mechanism of action

Tiova works by blocking muscarinic receptors in the smooth muscle of the airways. By inhibiting these receptors, it relaxes the bronchial muscles, which helps to keep the airways open for an extended period, making it easier to breathe for individuals managing chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
