| Generic Name | Tiotropium Bromide and Olodaterol |
| Purpose | Long-acting bronchodilator used to treat chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), including chronic bronchitis and emphysema. |
| Mechanism of Action | Tiotropium is a long-acting muscarinic antagonist (LAMA) that blocks acetylcholine receptors in the airways, leading to bronchodilation. Olodaterol is a long-acting beta2-adrenergic agonist (LABA) that stimulates beta2 receptors in the airways, also leading to bronchodilation. |

| Important Notes | Not for acute symptoms; use a short-acting beta-agonist (rescue inhaler) for sudden breathing problems. Rinse your mouth after each dose to help prevent thrush. Contact your doctor if your breathing problems worsen or if you need to use your rescue inhaler more often. |
