Inspiolto Respimat (Tiotropium Bromide/Olodaterol) from Maple Leaf Medications.

Inspiolto Respimat Uses 

Inspiolto Respimat, with the generic name tiotropium bromide monohydrate and olodaterol hydrochloride, is an inhalation solution indicated to treat breathing difficulties among patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or COPD, which includes chronic bronchitis and emphysema. This medication relieves symptoms such as shortness of breath and wheezing. 

This is available in Inspiolto Respimat 2.5 mcg/2.5 mcg inhalation solution. 

Inspiolto Respimat Mechanism of Action 

This inhalation is a combination of a long-acting muscarinic agonist and a long-acting beta2 adrenergic agonist. It works by inhibiting the M3 receptor in the smooth muscle of the lungs, which leads to smooth muscle relaxation and bronchodilation. It also catalyzes the formation of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) and protein kinase A, which, when elevated, could also lead to bronchodilation through the relaxation of airway smooth muscles.
