NURS 615: ADVANCED PHARMACOTHERAPEUTICS Maryville university exam 4 What is Tiotropium (SPIRIVA) used to treat? Used in the management/ maintenance treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) which includes chronic bronchitis and emphysema. What is the drug classification of Tiotropium? It is a long-acting, 24H anticholinergic-bronchodilator. It is a muscurinic receptor antagonist, often referred to as an antimuscurinic or anticholinergic agent. What is the mechanism of action of Tiotropium (SPIRIVA) It does not display selectivity for specific muscarinic receptors, when topically applied it acts mainly on M3 muscarinic receptors[8] located on smooth muscle cells and submucosal glands. This leads to a reduction in smooth muscle contraction and mucus secretion and thus produces a bronchodilatory effect.
