Gentrop 18mcg Capsule

Gentrop 18mcg Capsule contains Tiotropium 18mcg, a long-acting inhaled bronchodilator (LAMA). Made by Genix Pharma Ltd, it is prescribed for COPD and asthma. Pack size: 30 capsules.

Uses of Gentrop 18mcg Capsule

Gentrop 18mcg Capsule is a maintenance inhaler used every day to keep the airways open in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), including chronic bronchitis and emphysema. It reduces breathlessness and helps prevent flare-ups. Some forms are also added to a steroid preventer inhaler for adults whose asthma is not well controlled. It is not meant for quick relief during an attack.

How Gentrop 18mcg Capsule works

Tiotropium blocks muscarinic receptors on the muscles that line the airways. This stops the nerve signals that make those muscles tighten, so the airways stay relaxed and wider. Its effect lasts a full day, giving steady, long-lasting relief rather than instant opening of the airways.

Possible side effects

Gentrop 18mcg Capsule is usually well tolerated. The side effects people most often notice are:

• Dry mouth
• Constipation
• Cough or throat irritation
• Hoarse voice
• Headache

Get urgent help if your breathing suddenly gets worse right after using it, or for eye pain with blurred vision or halos, difficulty passing urine, or swelling of the face or throat.

Precautions and warnings

• Gentrop 18mcg Capsule is not a reliever inhaler, so always carry your quick-acting reliever for sudden symptoms.
• Tell your doctor if you have glaucoma, an enlarged prostate or difficulty passing urine, as it can make these worse.
• Let your doctor know about kidney disease or heart rhythm problems.
• Keep the powder or spray away from your eyes, as it can raise eye pressure.
• Speak to your doctor before using it if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Storage

Store below 30°C in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep it in the original pack until use. Keep all medicines out of the reach of children.
