    It is a broncho-dilator and relaxes the muscles round the airways which should help your symptoms.

      Triotropium is also a bronchodilator. Are you taking medicines just for the asthma? Why did you need a new drug? Were you having problems with the current ones?

      I had a bad year last year  repeated chest infections ,breathless,continuous productive cough ,so last yeR consultant put me on Montelukast ,,,but I didn't feel any benefit from it,also he stopped the tiotropium ,

      when I went to see consultant 2 weeks ago I felt quite good ,no problems since end February ,and proud of myself for regular doing 2 Klm on treadmill ( from nothing lady year ) but I had a lung function test and he said  I should have better readings than I had ,so he wants me try this one ,I have to say I was suprised ,
