Introduction

Trimium Transhaler is a combination of three medicines used for the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD). It helps in relaxing the muscles of the air passages and making it easier to breathe. It relieves coughing, wheezing, and feeling short of breath. Your doctor will tell you how often you need to use your inhaler. The effect of this medicine may be noticeable after a few days but will only reach its maximum after a few weeks. This medicine must be used regularly to be effective, so go on taking it even if you don't have any symptoms. That means it's doing its job. If you stop taking it, your COPD may get worse.

Check the label for directions before use. Shake the inhaler. While you are breathing in from mouth, press down on the inhaler one time to release the medication and hold your breath for 10 seconds. Repeat until you have inhaled the number of puffs as suggested by the doctor. Afterwards, rinse your mouth thoroughly with water and spit it out.

Side Effects

Nausea Vomiting Dryness in the mouth Fungal infection of mouth Respiratory tract infection Bronchitis (inflammation of the airways) Cough Sore throat Hoarseness of voice Headache

Trimium Transhaler is a combination of three medicines.

This medicine is for inhalation only. The tablet should not be swallowed. Take it at the same time each day. It does not work right away and should not be used to relieve sudden breathing problems. Use your rescue inhaler to control sudden difficulty in breathing. Dry mouth may occur as a side effect. Frequent mouth rinses, good oral hygiene, increased water intake, and sugarless candy may help. Gargle with warm water after each inhalation to avoid any fungal infections in your mouth and throat. Take the first dose of this medicine under medical supervision as it may cause wheezing or tightening of the airways (bronchospasm) immediately after using. Very little amount of Trimium Transhaler may get absorbed into the bloodstream after inhalation. Hence, serious side effects are unlikely. Do not stop taking it suddenly even if you don't currently have any symptoms as that may cause your breathing problems to come back.
