## What is Pulmotrop Inhaler

Pulmotrop Inhaler is an anticholinergic medicine that treats Asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease(COPD) symptoms.

This inhaler contains 9 mcg of Tiotropium, a bronchodilator that relaxes and opens the airways to improve breathing efficiency. It is manufactured and marketed by AXA Parenterals Ltd, ensuring quality and reliability.

## What are the benefits of Pulmotrop Inhaler

The Pulmotrop Inhaler contains “Tiotropium Bromide,” which helps open the airways. Tiotropium works by blocking areas in the airways that react to a chemical called acetylcholine, which can cause the muscles to tighten. By blocking this chemical, the inhaler helps relax the muscles.

This process makes breathing easier for patients with Asthma and COPD symptoms like shortness of breath, cough that may bring up mucus, wheezing or chest tightness, fatigue, acute bronchitis, or pneumonia.
