Pharmacological Properties
Tiotropium acts as a long-acting anticholinergic bronchodilator, while Olodaterol is a long-acting beta-adrenergic agonist. These two agents work synergistically to relax the airways and improve breathing in patients with COPD. The combination therapy targets different pathways in the lungs, providing a comprehensive approach to managing COPD symptoms.
