Trimium Transhaler – Product Summary

Uses

Trimium Transhaler is used to treat chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), a lung condition where airflow is blocked. It helps:

• Relax airway muscles

• Improve breathing

• Reduce coughing, wheezing, and shortness of breath

Key Benefits

• Prevents worsening of COPD when used regularly

• Combines ciclesonide (steroid), formoterol (bronchodilator), and tiotropium (anticholinergic) for better effectiveness

How It Works

• Ciclesonide reduces airway inflammation.

• Formoterol & Tiotropium relax and widen airways for easier breathing.

Dosage & Administration

• Shake well before use.

• Inhale as directed by your doctor.

• Hold breath for 10 seconds after each puff.

• Rinse mouth after use to prevent side effects like oral thrush.

• Do not stop suddenly—COPD may worsen.
