What is Pulmotrop Inhaler
Pulmotrop Inhaler is an anticholinergic medicine that treats Asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease(COPD) symptoms.
This inhaler contains 9 mcg of Tiotropium, a bronchodilator that relaxes and opens the airways to improve breathing efficiency. It is manufactured and marketed by AXA Parenterals Ltd, ensuring quality and reliability.
What are the benefits of Pulmotrop Inhaler
