About Zovair 160 Octacaps 30's

Zovair 160 Octacaps 30's belongs to the class 'respiratory stimulants', which are primarily used to treat asthma symptoms and chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (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).

Zovair 160 Octacaps 30's is a combination of three drugs: Tiotropium (anti-cholinergic), Formoterol (LABA - long-acting beta-agonists or bronchodilator), and ciclesonide (corticosteroid). Tiotropium is an anti-cholinergic, and formoterol is a bronchodilator. Both medicines work by relaxing the airway muscles and widen the airways. These medicines together making it easier for asthma and COPD patients to breathe. Whereas ciclesonide is a corticosteroid, it acts by stopping the release of certain natural substances in the body that are responsible for inflammation of the airways.

Your doctor will recommend how often you take Zovair 160 Octacaps 30's based on your medical condition.
