How many puffs are recommended daily for Spiriva?

For Spiriva, the recommended daily dosage is 2 puffs. This medication is commonly prescribed for the management of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma. The active ingredient in Spiriva is tiotropium, which is a long-acting muscarinic antagonist (LAMA) that helps to relax the muscles in the airways, making breathing easier.

The guideline of 2 puffs ensures that patients receive an effective dose that helps maintain open airways throughout the day. It is important for patients to adhere to this prescribed regimen, as taking more than the recommended dose can lead to increased side effects without additional benefits. Regular use helps in controlling symptoms and improving lung function over time.

Patients should always follow their healthcare provider’s instructions and refer to the patient information leaflet for specific details regarding their medication.
