Tiotropium, sold under the brand name Spiriva among others, is a long-acting bronchodilator used in the management of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma.[5][1] Specifically it is used to try to prevent periods of worsening rather than for those periods themselves.[5] It is used by inhalation through the mouth.[5] Onset typically begins within half an hour and lasts for 24 hours.[5]

Common side effects include a dry mouth, runny nose, upper respiratory tract infection, shortness of breath and headache.[5] Severe side effects may include angioedema, worsening bronchospasm, and QT prolongation.[5] Tentative evidence has not found harm during pregnancy, however, such use has not been well studied.[2] It is an anticholinergic medication and works by blocking acetylcholine action on smooth muscle.[5]

Tiotropium was patented in 1989, and approved for medical use in 2002.[6] It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines.[7] In the United States the wholesale cost was about US$14 per dose as of 2019.[8] In the United Kingdom a dose costs the NHS about 0.86 pounds as of 2019.[1] In 2017, it was the 82nd most commonly prescribed medication in the United States, with more than nine million prescriptions.[9][10] There is no generic version available in the United States as of 2019.[11]
