What is COPD?

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a common, preventable, and treatable disease that is characterized by persistent respiratory symptoms and airflow limitation. Sticking to a treatment plan that includes a maintenance medicine and lifestyle changes can help make your COPD symptoms more manageable.

COPD is a chronic lung disease that makes it harder 
to breathe. It includes two components: chronic 
bronchitis and emphysema. You could have one of 
these, or both.

What are the symptoms of COPD?

Shortness of breath

COPD symptoms can seem like other conditions that make breathing difficult. These conditions include the common cold, flu, respiratory infection, and even pneumonia. But unlike these conditions, COPD doesn't go away after a few days or weeks.

STIOLTO RESPIMAT can help clear the way when symptoms interrupt daily life

What can cause a flare-up?

COPD is a disease that can get worse over time, which means that symptoms can turn into something called a flare-up or exacerbation. It’s important to know what can cause a flare-up and what you can do to help guard against them. STIOLTO RESPIMAT contains tiotropium, which has been shown to help significantly reduce the risk of flare-ups.

Most flare-ups are caused by a lung infection like the common cold, so germs are a threat. Other causes, called triggers, can irritate your lungs and cause flare-ups.

Some of the most common triggers to avoid are:

Weather
Weather that is very hot, very cold, or very humid
Pollution/smoke
Pollution outside from smog and ozone, or inside from tobacco smoke and wood-burning fires
Household cleaning products
Household cleaning products with bleach or ammonia
Allergies
Allergies to dust, animals, or pets

See how you can control your COPD symptoms by taking a maintenance therapy like STIOLTO RESPIMAT every day.

Ask your doctor if STIOLTO RESPIMAT is right for you.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION FOR STIOLTO RESPIMAT

Do not use STIOLTO if you have asthma. People with asthma who take long-acting beta2-agonist (LABA) medicines, such as olodaterol, (one of the medicines in STIOLTO), without also using a medicine called an inhaled corticosteroid, have an increased risk of serious problems from asthma, including being hospitalized, needing a tube placed in their airway to help them breathe, or death.

Do not use STIOLTO if you are allergic to tiotropium, ipratropium, atropine or similar drugs, olodaterol, or any ingredient in STIOLTO.

Call your healthcare provider or get emergency medical care if you experience symptoms of a serious allergic reaction including: rash, hives, itching, swelling of the face, lips, tongue, throat, and difficulties in breathing or swallowing.

Get emergency medical care if your breathing problems worsen quickly or if you use your rescue inhaler but it does not relieve your breathing problems. Call your healthcare provider if breathing problems worsen over time while using STIOLTO.

Do not use STIOLTO more often than prescribed by your doctor. Do not use STIOLTO with other LABAs or anticholinergics.

Do not use STIOLTO for treating sudden breathing problems. Always have a rescue inhaler with you to treat sudden symptoms.

Tell your doctor about all your medical conditions including heart problems, high blood pressure, seizures, thyroid problems, diabetes, kidney problems, glaucoma, enlarged prostate, and problems passing urine.

STIOLTO can cause serious side effects, including sudden shortness of breath that may be life threatening, fast or irregular heartbeat, increased blood pressure, chest pain, tremor, headache, nervousness, high blood sugar, or low blood potassium that may cause muscle weakness or abnormal heart rhythm. If any of these happens, stop taking STIOLTO and seek immediate medical help.

STIOLTO can cause new or worsening eye problems including narrow-angle glaucoma, and can increase the pressure in your eyes, which can cause the following symptoms: eye pain, blurred vision, seeing halos or colored images along with red eyes. If you have any of these symptoms, stop taking STIOLTO and call your doctor right away.

STIOLTO can cause new or worsened urinary retention. Symptoms of urinary retention may include difficulty passing urine, painful urination, urinating frequently, or urinating in a weak stream or drips. If you have any of these symptoms, stop taking STIOLTO and call your doctor right away.

The most common side effects of STIOLTO are runny nose, cough, and back pain.

Tell your doctor about all the medicines you take, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, eye drops, vitamins, and herbal supplements. STIOLTO and certain other medicines may affect each other.
