Quick Tips
Aerotrop Inhalation makes breathing easier for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma. This medicine is for inhalation only. The tablet should not be swallowed. It should be taken at the same time each day. It does not work right away and should not be used to relieve sudden breathing problems. Use your rescue inhaler to control sudden difficulty in breathing. Only small amounts of Aerotrop Inhalation may get absorbed into the bloodstream after inhalation. Hence serious side effects are unlikely.

Frequently asked questions
How long does Aerotrop Inhalation take to work?
Aerotrop Inhalation starts working within 30 minutes of taking it, with potential for improved breathing after the first dose. The full benefits may be experienced in about 3 days to a week's time.
Is Aerotrop Inhalation a steroid?
No, Aerotrop Inhalation is not a steroid but belongs to the anticholinergic class of medications. It works by relaxing the muscles of the small airways, helping them stay open for 24 hours.
How can Aerotrop Inhalation help me?
Aerotrop Inhalation is a long-acting bronchodilator that opens the air passages and makes breathing easier. Using this medicine daily helps prevent sudden, short-term worsening of your breathing problems. Regular use also helps relieve ongoing shortness of breath.
What should I avoid while taking Aerotrop Inhalation?
Use Aerotrop Inhalation carefully to prevent it from getting into your eyes. If it gets in your eyes, blurry vision and a larger pupil (dilation) can occur. If this happens, consult your doctor immediately. Aerotrop Inhalation can also cause dizziness and blurred vision. Avoid driving or using heavy machinery if these side effects occur.
How long do I need to take Aerotrop Inhalation?
Your doctor may prescribe long-term use of Aerotrop Inhalation for COPD, as it is a chronic condition that requires ongoing treatment.
What is the difference between rescue treatment and maintenance treatment?
Rescue treatment is used to treat sudden attacks or worsening of COPD symptoms. Maintenance treatment are daily medicines used to manage the ongoing symptoms of COPD. For example, when you experience sudden shortness of breath due to COPD, a rescue dose of corticosteroids may be prescribed. However, for preventing future attacks from occurring, Aerotrop Inhalation might be prescribed.
What is chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)?
COPD is a serious lung disease characterized by narrowed airways that slow down the expulsion of air, making breathing difficult. Common forms of COPD include chronic bronchitis (swelling of the air passages leading to the lungs) and emphysema (damage to air sacs in the lungs).
Can I prevent my COPD from getting worse?
Quitting smoking is crucial for slowing COPD progression. Maintaining consistent use of prescribed medications as directed by your doctor may also slow the progression of COPD.
How should Aerotrop Inhalation be stored?
Store Aerotrop Inhalation at room temperature between 68°F and 77°F (20°C to 25°C). Keep it away from heat, cold, and do not refrigerate it. Store in a dry place.
