Ciclesonide + Formoterol + Tiotropium

Uses

Ciclesonide, Formoterol, and Tiotropium are used in the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

How it Works

How Ciclesonide, Formoterol, and Tiotropium Work Ciclesonide, formoterol, and tiotropium are three medications that work together to improve breathing. Ciclesonide is a corticosteroid that acts by inhibiting the release of certain natural substances in the body responsible for airway inflammation. Formoterol is a bronchodilator, and tiotropium is an anticholinergic. These medications work by relaxing the muscles in the airways and widening them. Together, they facilitate easier breathing.

Side Effects

Common side effects of Ciclesonide, Formoterol, and Tiotropium include cough, headache, dryness in the mouth, difficulty urinating, urinary retention, constipation, dry throat, increased heart rate, blurred vision, glaucoma, nasopharyngitis (inflammation of the throat and nasal passages), upper respiratory tract infection, sinus inflammation, stomach discomfort, fungal infection of the oropharynx, tremors, palpitations, voice changes, dizziness, insomnia (difficulty sleeping), paresthesia (tingling or pricking sensation), and taste changes.
