Tiova Rotacaps

Tiova Rotacaps Uses, Dosage, Side Effects, Food Interaction and all others data.

Tiova Rotacaps is a long-acting, antimuscarinic agent, which is often referred to as an anticholinergic. It has similar affinity to the subtypes of muscarinic receptors, M1 to M5. In the airways, it exhibits pharmacological effects through inhibition of M3-receptors at the smooth muscle leading to bronchodilation. The bronchodilation following inhalation of Tiova Rotacaps is predominantly a site-specific effect.

Tiova Rotacaps is a long acting antimuscarinic that causes bronchodilation. The effects of tiotropium last over 24 hours and there is a wide therapeutic index as overdoses are uncommon even at doses well above the recommended maximum.

How Tiova Rotacaps works

Tiova Rotacaps is an antagonist of muscarinic receptors M1 to M5. Inhibition of the M3 receptor in the smooth muscle of the lungs leads to relaxation of smooth muscle and bronchodilation.

Dosage

Tiova Rotacaps dosage

Adults and adolescents 12 years and older: The recommended dosage of Tiova Rotacaps bromide is the inhalation of 2 puffsonce daily.

Side Effects

The most commonly reported adverse drug reaction was dry mouth. Dry mouth was usually mild and often resolved during continued treatment. Other reactions reported in individual patients and consistent with possible anticholinergic effects included constipation, increased heart rate, blurred vision, glaucoma, urinary difficulty, and urinary retention.

Toxicity

Symptoms of overdose include altered mental status, tremors, abdominal pain, and severe constipation. However, doses of up to 282µg did not lead to systemic anticholinergic effects in a trial of 6 patients. In case of overdose, stop tiotropium and being symptomatic and supportive therapy.

Precaution

As an anticholinergic drug, Tiova Rotacaps may potentially worsen symptoms and signs associated with narrow angle glaucoma, prostatic hyperplasia or bladder-neck obstruction and should be used with caution in patients with any of these conditions. As a predominantly renally excreted drug, patients with moderate to severe renal impairment treated with Tiova Rotacaps should be monitored closely.

Eye pain or discomfort, blurred vision, visual halos or colored images in association with red eyes from conjunctival congestion and corneal edema may be signs of acute narrow angle glaucoma. Should any of these signs and symptoms develop, consult a physician immediately. Miotic eye drops alone are not considered to be effective treatment.

Interaction

Tiova Rotacaps has been used concomitantly with other drugs commonly used in COPD without increases in adverse drug reactions. These include sympathomimetic bronchodilators, methylxanthines, and oral and inhaled steroids. However, the co-administration of Tiova Rotacaps with other anticholinergic-containing drugs (e.g., ipratropium) has not been studied and is therefore not recommended.

Food Interaction

  • Take with or without food. Food is not expected to interfere with absorption.

Volume of Distribution

The volume of distribution of tiotropium is 32L/kg.

Elimination Route

33% of an inhaled solution reaches systemic circulation, while oral solutions have a bioavailability of 2-3%. A dry powder for inhalation is 19.5% bioavailable. Tiova Rotacaps metered spray for inhalation reaches a maximum concentration in 5-7 minutes.

Half Life

The terminal half life of tiotropium is 24 hours in patients with COPD and 44 hours in patients with asthma.

Clearance

The total clearance of tiotropium is 880mL/min in healthy subjects receiving 5µg daily. The renal clearance of tiotropium was 669mL/min. Patients 2 This decreased clearance is not associated with increased AUC or Cmax.

Elimination Route

74% of intravenous tiotropium was excreted unchanged in urine. 14% of a dry powder inhalation dose was excreted unchanged in the urine. 24 hour urinary excretion after 21 days of 5µg once daily inhalation in patients with COPD is 18.6% and in patients with asthma is 12.8%.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding use

Pregnancy Category C. Tiova Rotacaps should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus.
