Tiomate Transhaler is a combination of two medicines: Formoterol and Tiotropium. Formoterol is a bronchodilator while Tiotropium is an anticholinergic. They work by relaxing the muscles in the airways and widening the airways, making breathing easier.

You have been prescribed Tiomate Transhaler for the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). If at any time your breathing gets worse, please contact your doctor or nurse for advice straightaway. Do not smoke. Smoking causes irritation and damage to the lungs and will make your condition worse. If you have diabetes, you may need to check your blood glucose more frequently as Tiomate Transhaler can affect the levels of sugar in your blood. Your doctor will advise you about this. Do not discontinue use without consulting your doctor, even if you feel better. If you are overweight, it is advisable to lose weight. Being overweight means that you have to work much harder to breathe in to inflate your lungs.
