                    [Summary] => Two pharmaceutical companies, Boehringer Ingelheim and Pfizer, recently introduced Tiotropium, a novel drug that will provide remedy to patients suffering from Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disorder (COPD).


Tiotropium is the first once-daily inhaled therapy for the maintenance and treatment of COPD.


While it is less known than asthma, COPD is far more prevalent. World Health Organization (WHO) studies state that there are 600 million people suffering from COPD, although most remain undiagnosed.

Spiriva (tiotropium) is approved as a bronchodilator for the maintenance treatment of COPD. Discovered and developed by Boehringer Ingelheim, Spiriva is the first once-daily inhaled therapy for COPD.

Tiotropium, a once-daily inhaled anticholinergic, was found superior to the long-acting beta agonist salmeterol in several key aspects.
