Comment on: “Cost Effectiveness of Tiotropium in Patients with Asthma Poorly Controlled on Inhaled Glucocorticosteroids and Long-Acting β-Agonists”
BACKGROUND A considerable proportion of patients with asthma remain uncontrolled or symptomatic despite treatment with a high dose of inhaled glucocorticosteroids (ICSs) and long-acting β2-agonists (LABAs). Tiotropium Respimat(®) added to usual care improves lung function, asthma control, and the frequency of non-severe and severe exacerbations, in a population of adult asthma patients who are ...
متن کاملTiotropium bromide
Therapy with bronchodilators forms the pharmacologic foundation of the treatment of patients with COPD. Bronchodilators can significantly lessen dyspnea, increase airflow, improve quality of life, and enhance exercise performance. While bronchodilators decrease airway resistance and lessen dynamic hyperinflation in patients with COPD, they have not been shown to alter the rate of decline in FEV...
متن کاملEffect of fluticasone propionate/salmeterol plus tiotropium versus tiotropium on walking endurance in COPD.
Exercise intolerance is a hallmark feature of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and is associated with premature mortality [1]. Tiotropium (TIO) is effective in improving cycling exercise tolerance [2, 3] and walking endurance time in COPD [4]; these properties are thought to be associated with reductions in operating lung volume and the perception of dyspnoea during exercise [2, 3, ...
متن کاملTiotropium in paediatric asthma.
The emerging evidence that there are many types of asthma that may respond differently to treatment suggests a need for novel inhaled therapies beyond the current armamentarium of short-acting β2-agonists, long-acting β2-agonists (LABA) and inhaled corticosteroids (ICS). Recent phase III trials suggest that tiotropium, a long-acting muscarinic antagonist, is a promising treatment for adult asth...
متن کاملTiotropium Bromide: An Update
Tiotropium bromide is a once-daily inhaled anticholinergic bronchodilator. It works by blocking the muscarinic receptors in airway smooth muscle. Tiotropium has a wide therapeutic margin, due to its poor gastrointestinal absorption and its very low systemic bioavailability. The drug is mainly indicated in COPD patients. Clinically relevant outcomes such as significant improvements in spirometry...
