VOLTIDO 100 ROTACAPS 30'S

How VOLTIDO 100 ROTACAPS 30'S Works

• VOLTIDO 100 ROTACAPS 30'S contains Tiotropium, a bronchodilator, as its active ingredient. It works primarily by blocking the action of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter. Acetylcholine causes the muscles around the airways in the lungs to tighten and contract, leading to bronchoconstriction (narrowing of the airways). By blocking acetylcholine, Tiotropium helps to relax these muscles, widening the airways and making it easier to breathe.
• Specifically, Tiotropium is an anticholinergic or antimuscarinic agent. It selectively blocks muscarinic M3 receptors in the smooth muscle of the airways. These M3 receptors are responsible for mediating the bronchoconstrictive effects of acetylcholine. When Tiotropium binds to these receptors, it prevents acetylcholine from binding, thereby preventing the muscles from tightening. This action leads to bronchodilation (widening of the airways).
• The bronchodilation effect of VOLTIDO 100 ROTACAPS 30'S helps to reduce the symptoms of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), such as shortness of breath, wheezing, and coughing. By opening up the airways, it allows more air to flow in and out of the lungs, making breathing easier and improving lung function. This medication provides long-lasting bronchodilation, as it has a prolonged duration of action compared to some other bronchodilators. This allows for once-daily dosing, providing sustained relief throughout the day and night.
• Furthermore, because VOLTIDO 100 ROTACAPS 30'S is administered via inhalation using a Rotahaler device, the medication is delivered directly to the lungs. This localized delivery minimizes systemic side effects, as less of the drug is absorbed into the bloodstream compared to oral medications. The Rotahaler device helps to ensure that the correct dose of Tiotropium is delivered with each inhalation, optimizing its effectiveness. Regular use of VOLTIDO 100 ROTACAPS 30'S, as prescribed by a healthcare professional, can significantly improve the quality of life for individuals with COPD by reducing symptoms and improving their ability to perform daily activities.

Common side effects of Voltido 100 Rotacaps may include headache, nausea, vomiting, stomach upset, diarrhea, constipation, dizziness, drowsiness, lightheadedness, spinning sensation, skin rash, itching, sweating, fluid retention (edema), increased blood pressure, and changes in liver function tests. Less common but potentially serious side effects include: allergic reactions (such as hives, difficulty breathing, swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat), gastrointestinal bleeding (symptoms may include black, tarry stools, or vomiting blood), liver problems (such as jaundice, dark urine, fatigue), kidney problems (such as changes in urine output, swelling of the ankles or feet), heart problems (such as chest pain, shortness of breath), and increased risk of heart attack or stroke. Some patients may also experience ulcers, perforation, or bleeding in the stomach or intestines. This is not an exhaustive list, and it is important to inform your doctor of any unusual symptoms experienced while taking Voltido 100 Rotacaps.

• If you miss a dose of VOLTIDO 100 ROTACAPS 30'S, take it as soon as you remember, unless it is almost time for your next dose. In that case, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one.

• Keep VOLTIDO 100MCG ROTACAPS 1X30 away from the reach of children and pets.
• Store VOLTIDO 100MCG ROTACAPS 1X30 at room temperature.

• **Understand Your Medication:** Voltido 100 Rotacaps contain an anticholinergic bronchodilator. Ensure you understand how it works to relax airway muscles and improve breathing in conditions like COPD. Discuss any uncertainties with your doctor or pharmacist. This helps you actively participate in your treatment and manage expectations effectively.
• **Proper Inhalation Technique is Key:** The Rotacaps are designed for use with a Rotahaler device. Always load the capsule correctly and inhale deeply and steadily through the device. If you're unsure about the technique, ask your doctor or pharmacist for a demonstration. Correct usage maximizes drug delivery to your lungs for optimal effect. Consistent technique ensures you receive the full benefit of each dose.
• **Consistent Dosing Schedule:** Take Voltido 100 Rotacaps at the same time(s) each day, as prescribed by your doctor. This helps maintain a consistent level of medication in your body, leading to better symptom control. Missing doses can lead to a return of symptoms. Use an alarm or reminder app if needed to stay on schedule. Adherence to the prescribed schedule is crucial for long-term management of your respiratory condition.
• **Stay Hydrated:** While using Voltido, maintain adequate hydration by drinking plenty of water throughout the day, unless otherwise advised by your doctor. This helps to thin mucus secretions, making them easier to clear from your airways. Staying hydrated can also help to reduce any potential side effects of the medication, such as dry mouth. General hydration supports overall health.
• **Monitor for Side Effects and Interactions:** Be aware of potential side effects, such as dry mouth, blurred vision, or difficulty urinating. Inform your doctor if these occur or worsen. Also, inform them of any other medications you are taking, including over-the-counter drugs and herbal supplements, as interactions may occur. Regular monitoring and communication with your healthcare provider are essential for safe and effective treatment. Never adjust the dose on your own.

• It is advisable to take VOLTIDO 100 ROTACAPS 30'S at least 30 minutes before food to ensure optimal absorption. Food can interfere with the absorption of this medication, potentially reducing its effectiveness. If taken with food, the onset of action may be delayed.
