Tand bromide is an antimuscarinic long-acting drug, often called m-holin-blocking agent in clinical practice. The drug has the same affinity for Ml - M5 subtypes of muscarinic receptors. The result of the inhibition of M3 receptors in the airway is the relaxation of smooth muscles. The bronchodilator effect is dose dependent and persists for at least 24 hours. A significant duration of action is probably connected,with a very slow dissociation of the drug from the M3 receptors; the half-dissociation period is much longer than in ipratropium bromide. When Inhalation mode of administration of tiotropium bromide, as an N-quaternary ammonium derivative, exerts a local selective effect (on the bronchi), while in therapeutic doses does not cause systemic m-cholinoblocking side effects. Dissociation from M2-receptors occurs faster than from M3 receptors, which indicates about prevalence
selectivity for the M3 receptor subtype over M2 receptors. The high affinity for the receptors and the slow dissociation of the drug from the receptor binding cause expressed and
prolonged bronchodilator
effect in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Bronchodilation, which develops after inhalation of tiotropium bromide, is caused, first of all, by local (on the respiratory tract), and not by systemic action.
In clinical trials, it has been shown that the use of SPIRIVA RESPIMAT once a day results in a significant improvement (compared to placebo) in lung function (forced expiratory volume per second FEV1 and forced vital capacity of the FVC lungs) within 30 minutes after the first dose .The improvement in lung function persists for 24 hours at an equilibrium concentration. Pharmacodynamic equilibrium was achieved within one week. SPIRIVA RESPIMAT significantly improved the morning and evening

In clinical trials, it has been shown that the use of SPIRIVA RESPIMAT once a day results in a significant improvement (compared with placebo) functionlungs (volume of forced expiration in 1 second FEV1 and forced vital capacity of the FVC lungs) within 30 minutes after the first dose. The improvement in lung function persists for 24 hours at an equilibrium concentration. Pharmacodynamic equilibrium was achieved RESPIMAT significantly improved the morning and evening peak volumetric expiratory flow rate (PER), measured by patients.
The use of SPIRIVA RESPIMAT resulted in a decrease (in comparison with placebo) in the use of the bronchodilator as an ambulance.
Bronchodilator effect of the drug
persists for 48 weeks; signs of addiction is not noted.
The analysis of the combined data of two randomized, placebo-
controlled, cross-sectional clinical trials showed that
bronchodilator effect of the drug
SPIRIVA RESPIMAT (5 μg) after 4 weeks of treatment was in
quantitative ratio is higher than the effect preparation of SPIRIVA (18 μg).
In long-term (12-month) studies it was found that SPIRIVA RESPIMAT significantly reduces shortness of breath; improves the quality of life; reduces psychosocial effects of COPD and increased activity.
The drug SPIRIVA RESPIMAT significantly improved the overall health (total score) compared with placebo at the end of two 12-month studies, this difference persisted throughout the treatment period; the drug SPIRIVA RESPIMAT significantly reduced the number of exacerbations of COPD, and increased the period until the moment of the first exacerbation compared with placebo.
It is proved that SPIRIVA RESPIMAT reduces the risk of exacerbation of COPD and significantly reduces the incidence of hospitalization.
In the retrospective analysis of individual clinical studies, there was a statistically inaccurate increase in the number of deaths in patients with cardiac rhythm disturbances, compared with placebo. However, these data are not statistically confirmed and may be associated with heart disease.
In clinical studies in patients, suffering from bronchial asthma and continuing to experience the symptoms of the disease, despite supporting therapy with an inhaled corticosteroid, including in combination with long- active beta agonist 2- adrenoreceptors, it was found that the addition of SPIRIVA RESPIMAT to maintenance therapy led to a significant improvement in lung function compared to placebo, significantly reduced the number of serious exacerbations and periods of worsening of symptoms of bronchial asthma, and increased the period before their first onset, led to a significant improvement in the quality of life and an increase in the number of patients with a positive response to maintenance therapy.
Bronchodilator effect of the drug persisted for 1 year, no signs of addiction were noted.
