/api/v1/drug/olodaterolMechanism of action
Sourced from openFDASTIOLTO RESPIMAT STIOLTO RESPIMAT contains both tiotropium and olodaterol. The properties described below for the individual components apply to STIOLTO RESPIMAT.
Indications
Sourced from openFDA- STIOLTO RESPIMAT is a combination of tiotropium bromide, an anticholinergic and olodaterol, a long-acting beta 2 -adrenergic agonist (LABA) indicated for the long-term, once-daily maintenance treatment of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). ( 1.1 ) Important limitations: STIOLTO RESPIMAT is NOT indicated to treat acute deterioration of COPD.ICD-10: J44.9
Contraindications
Sourced from openFDA- Use of a LABA, including STIOLTO RESPIMAT, without an inhaled corticosteroid is contraindicated in patients with asthma [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] . STIOLTO RESPIMAT is not indicated for the treatment of asthma.contraindicated
Dosage & administration
Sourced from openFDAFor oral inhalation only. Two inhalations of STIOLTO RESPIMAT once-daily at the same time of day. ( 2 ) 2.1 Recommended Dosage The recommended dosage of STIOLTO RESPIMAT is two inhalations once-daily at the same time of the day. Do not use STIOLTO RESPIMAT more than two inhalations every 24 hours. 2.2 Administration Information For oral inhalation only. Prior to first use, the STIOLTO RESPIMAT cartridge is inserted into the STIOLTO RESPIMAT inhaler and the unit is primed. When using the unit for the first time, patients are to actuate the inhaler toward the ground until an aerosol cloud is visible and then repeat the process three more times. The unit is then considered primed and ready for use. If not used for more than 3 days, patients are to actuate the inhaler once to prepare the inhaler for use. If not used for more than 21 days, patients are to actuate the inhaler until an aerosol cloud is visible and then repeat the process three more times to prepare the inhaler for use [see Patient Counseling Information (17) ] . No dosage adjustment is required for geriatric, hepatically-impaired, or renally-impaired patients. However, patients with moderate to severe renal impairment given STIOLTO RESPIMAT should be monitored closely for anticholinergic effects [see Warnings and Precautions (5.10) , Use in Specific Populations (8.5 , 8.6 , 8.7) , and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] .
Warnings & precautions
Sourced from openFDALABA as monotherapy (without an inhaled corticosteroid) for asthma increases the risk of serious asthma-related events. ( 5.1 ) Do not initiate STIOLTO RESPIMAT in acutely deteriorating COPD patients. ( 5.2 ) Do not use for relief of acute symptoms. Concomitant short-acting beta 2 -agonists can be used as needed for acute relief. ( 5.2 ) Do not exceed the recommended dosage. Excessive use of STIOLTO RESPIMAT, or use in conjunction with other medications containing LABA can result in clinically significant cardiovascular effects and may be fatal. ( 5.3 ) Immediate hypersensitivity reactions: Discontinue STIOLTO RESPIMAT at once and consider alternatives if immediate hypersensitivity reactions, including angioedema, urticaria, rash, bronchospasm, or anaphylaxis, occur. ( 5.4 ) Life-threatening paradoxical bronchospasm can occur. Discontinue STIOLTO RESPIMAT immediately. ( 5.5 ) Use with caution in patients with cardiovascular or convulsive disorders, thyrotoxicosis, or sensitivity to sympathomimetic drugs. ( 5.6 , 5.7 ) Worsening of narrow-angle glaucoma may occur. Use with caution in patients with narrow-angle glaucoma and instruct patients to consult a physician immediately if this occurs. ( 5.8 ) Worsening of urinary retention may occur. Use with caution in patients with prostatic hyperplasia or bladder-neck obstruction and instruct patients to consult a physician immediately if this occurs. ( 5.9 ) Be alert to hypokalemia and hyperglycemia.
Adverse reactions
Sourced from openFDALABA, such as olodaterol, one of the active components in STIOLTO RESPIMAT, as monotherapy (without an inhaled corticosteroid) for asthma, increase the risk of asthma-related events. STIOLTO RESPIMAT is not indicated for the treatment of asthma [see Warning and Precautions (5.1) ]. The following adverse reactions are described, or described in greater detail, in other sections: Immediate hypersensitivity reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4) ] Paradoxical bronchospasm [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5) ] Worsening of narrow-angle glaucoma [see Warnings and Precautions (5.8) ] Worsening of urinary retention [see Warnings and Precautions (5.9) ] The most common adverse reactions (>3% incidence and more than an active control) were nasopharyngitis, cough, and back pain. ( 6 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals, Inc. at 1-800-542-6257 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch . 6.1 Clinical Trials Experience in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, the incidence of adverse reactions observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to the incidences in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the incidences observed in practice. The clinical program for STIOLTO RESPIMAT included 7,151 subjects with COPD in two 52-week active-controlled trials, one 12-week placebo-controlled trial, three 6-week placebo-controlled cross-over trials, and four additional trials of shorter duration.
Use in specific populations
Sourced from openFDAPatients with moderate to severe renal impairment should be monitored closely for potential anticholinergic side effects. ( 2 , 8.7 ) 8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary There are no adequate and well-controlled clinical studies with STIOLTO RESPIMAT or its individual components, tiotropium bromide and olodaterol, in pregnant women to inform of drug-associated risk of adverse pregnancy-related outcomes. Animal reproduction studies were conducted with the individual components of STIOLTO RESPIMAT, tiotropium bromide and olodaterol. There are clinical considerations with the use of STIOLTO RESPIMAT in pregnant women (see Clinical Considerations ) . STIOLTO RESPIMAT should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus. Based on animal reproduction studies, no structural abnormalities were observed when tiotropium was administered by inhalation to pregnant rats and rabbits during the period of organogenesis at doses 790 and 8 times, respectively, the maximum recommended human daily inhalation dose (MRHDID). Increased post-implantation loss was observed in rats and rabbits administered tiotropium at maternally toxic doses 430 times and 40 times the MRHDID, respectively (see Data ) .
Pharmacokinetics
Sourced from openFDA- Metabolism
- STIOLTO RESPIMAT When STIOLTO RESPIMAT was administered by the inhalation route, the pharmacokinetic parameters for tiotropium and for olodaterol were similar to those observed when each active substance was administered separately. Tiotropium Tiotropium is administered as an inhalation spray.
Overdosage
Sourced from openFDASTIOLTO RESPIMAT contains both tiotropium bromide and olodaterol; therefore, the risks associated with overdosage for the individual components described below apply to STIOLTO RESPIMAT. Tiotropium High doses of tiotropium may lead to anticholinergic signs and symptoms. However, there were no systemic anticholinergic adverse effects following a single inhaled dose of up to 282 mcg tiotropium in 6 healthy volunteers. In a study of 12 healthy volunteers, bilateral conjunctivitis and dry mouth were seen following repeated once-daily inhalation of 141 mcg of tiotropium. Dry mouth/throat and dry nasal mucosa occurred in a dose-dependent [10-40 mcg daily] manner, were observed following 14-day dosing of up to 40 mcg tiotropium bromide inhalation solution in healthy subjects.
