Theehale Inhaler is used to treat asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). Asthma is a chronic (long-term) respiratory condition in which airways narrow, swell and produce extra mucus, leading to difficulty breathing. COPD is a group of lung diseases with emphysema (shortness of breath) and chronic bronchitis (inflammation of the lining of bronchial tubes).

Theehale Inhaler contains ‘Tiotropium’, which works by blocking the receptors for acetylcholine, which are released in the cholinergic nerve endings in the airways. Theehale Inhaler relaxes and widens the airway's openings, making it easier for the air to get in and out of the lungs. Thus, it provides relief from asthma and COPD.

Theehale Inhaler is meant for inhalation only; do not swallow Theehale Inhaler. You are advised to use Theehale Inhaler for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience certain common side effects such as dry mouth, stomach upset, constipation, blurred vision, chest pain and cold symptoms. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

Please do not stop taking Theehale Inhaler on your own as it might cause worsening of symptoms. Consult your doctor before taking Theehale Inhaler if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Theehale Inhaler may cause dizziness, so drive with caution. Avoid consuming alcohol as it might cause increased dizziness. Theehale Inhaler is not recommended for children below 6 years as the safety and effectiveness have not been established. Keep your doctor informed about your health condition and the medicines you are taking to avoid unpleasant side effects.

Theehale Inhaler belongs to the group of anti-asthmatic medicines called bronchodilators used to treat asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). Theehale Inhaler works by blocking the receptors for acetylcholine, which are released in the cholinergic nerve endings in the airways. Theehale Inhaler relaxes and widens the airway's openings, making it easier for the air to get in and out of the lungs. Thereby helps in treating asthma and COPD. Regular use of Theehale Inhaler can help with ongoing shortness of breath related to diseases like asthma. Daily use of Theehale Inhaler can also help prevent sudden, short-term worsening of COPD symptoms that might last for several days. Theehale Inhaler is also used as an adjunct to other medicines to treat asthma.

• Learn breathing exercises like pursed-lip breathing will help you move more air in and out of your lungs.

• You are advised to rinse your mouth with water after each dose of Theehale Inhaler because it not only removes the taste of medicine inhaled but also helps to avoid fungal infections in the mouth and throat. After rinsing your mouth thoroughly, you may drink water, milk or any liquids.

Asthma: It is a chronic (long-term) respiratory condition in which airways narrow, swell, and produce extra mucus, leading to difficulty breathing. The symptoms of asthma include wheezing (whistling sound while breathing), shortness of breath, chest tightness and cough, especially at night. The symptoms of mild persistent asthma may occur more than 2 times in a week and up to 4 nights in a month, whereas, in the case of severe persistent asthma, the symptoms occur several times every day and most nights. The treatment for asthma includes medication, breathing exercises and self-care.

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD): It is a group of lung diseases with emphysema (shortness of breath) and chronic bronchitis (inflammation of the lining of bronchial tubes). The major cause of COPD is smoking tobacco. Also, long-term exposure to fumes and chemicals may lead to COPD. The symptoms include chronic cough, shortness of breath or wheezing (whistle sound while breathing).
