      LAMA approved for asthma.

      Spiriva® Respimat® (tiotropium) is now indicated for add-on maintenance bronchodilator treatment in adults with asthma,

      currently treated with inhaled corticosteroids (at least 800 microgram daily of budesonide or equivalent) and long-acting ?2agonists and who experienced one or more severe exacerbations in the previous year.

      The soft-mist inhaler is already licensed for maintenance bronchodilator treatment in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

      Do request if more info needed on this drug.

      G Mohan.
