TRIOHALE ROTOCAP

Uses and Benefits of TRIOHALE ROTOCAP (Ciclesonide 400mg + Formoterol 12mcg + Tiotropium 18mcg)

This medicine combination is used for long-term maintenance treatment of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), conditions that cause breathlessness, wheezing, and cough due to narrowed airways.

WHAT THIS MEDICINE IS USED FOR

• Long-term control and prevention of asthma symptoms
• Maintenance treatment of COPD, including chronic bronchitis and emphysema
• Reducing frequency of flare-ups (exacerbations) of breathing difficulty
• Improving day-to-day lung function and breathing capacity

HOW IT WORKS

• Ciclesonide is a steroid that reduces inflammation and swelling in the airways
• Formoterol relaxes airway muscles quickly and for a long duration, easing breathing
• Tiotropium blocks certain nerve signals that cause airway muscles to tighten, keeping airways open longer
• Together, they help open airways and prevent inflammation-related narrowing

WHAT IT IS NOT USED FOR

• Not for sudden asthma attacks or acute breathlessness needing immediate relief
• Not a cure for asthma or COPD, only controls symptoms
• Not meant for children unless specifically advised by a specialist
• Not for common cold, cough due to infection, or allergies unrelated to airway disease
