This document summarizes information about the mode of action of SPIRIVA Respimat for treating asthma. It explains that SPIRIVA is an anticholinergic that works by binding to M3 receptors for over 24 hours to antagonize the effects of acetylcholine, resulting in bronchodilation by reducing smooth muscle contraction, mucus secretion, and inflammation. By blocking acetylcholine's stimulation of M3 receptors on airway smooth muscle, submucosal glands, and inflammatory cells, SPIRIVA treats bronchoconstriction and is approved in some countries for adult asthma patients who experienced severe exacerbations while treated with other medications.

This short animated video shows the mode of
action (MoA) of SPIRIVA® Respimat® (tiotropium)
in the treatment of asthma.
Binding to M3 receptors, SPIRIVA® Respimat® blocks acetylcholine, which plays a significant
role in the pathophysiology of asthma, and antagonises the bronchoconstrictive effects,
resulting in bronchial smooth muscle relaxation.
