Tiotropium is a medication that belongs to the anticholinergic drug class. This is an inhalational anticholinergic medication and is usually used in the manufacturing of inhalers.

So this helps in widening the airways resulting in easy breathing. This mechanism of action of the drug is used to relieve asthma and COPD symptoms. Frequent usage of the Tiotropium can reduce the symptoms such as shortness of breath and mucus accumulation.
