Description
Tiotropium bromide inhalation powder consists of tiotropium bromide inhalation powder capsules and a LupinHaler device. Each white opaque, hypromellose tiotropium bromide inhalation powder capsule contains a dry powder consisting of 18 mcg tiotropium (equivalent to 22.5 mcg tiotropium bromide monohydrate USP) blended with lactose monohydrate (which may contain milk proteins). The contents of tiotropium bromide inhalation powder capsules are intended for oral inhalation only, and are intended for administration only with the LupinHaler device. The active component of tiotropium bromide inhalation powder is tiotropium. The drug substance, tiotropium bromide monohydrate, is an anticholinergic with specificity for muscarinic receptors. It is chemically described as (1α, 2β, 4β, 5α, 7β)-7-[(Hydroxydi-2-thienylacetyl)oxy]-9,9-dimethyl-3-oxa-9-azoniatricyclo [3.3.1.0 2,4 ] nonane bromide monohydrate. It is a synthetic, non-chiral, quaternary ammonium compound. Tiotropium bromide is a white or yellowish white powder. It is sparingly soluble in water and soluble in methanol. The structural formula is: Tiotropium bromide (monohydrate) has a molecular mass of 490.4 and a molecular formula of C 19 H 22 NO 4 S 2 Br
H 2 O. The LupinHaler device is an inhalation device used to inhale the dry powder contained in the tiotropium bromide inhalation powder capsule. The dry powder is delivered from the LupinHaler device at flow rates as low as 20 L/min. Under standardized in vitro testing, the LupinHaler device delivers a mean of 10.4 mcg tiotropium when tested at a flow rate of 39 L/min for 3.1 seconds (2 L total). In a study of 26 adult patients with COPD and severely compromised lung function [mean FEV 1 1.02 L (range 0.45 to 2.24 L); 37.6% of predicted (range 16% to 65%)], the median peak inspiratory flow (PIF) through the LupinHaler device was 30.0 L/min (range 20.4 to 45.6 L/min). The amount of drug delivered to the lungs will vary depending on patient factors such as inspiratory flow and peak inspiratory flow through the LupinHaler device, which may vary from patient to patient, and may vary with the exposure time of the tiotropium bromide inhalation powder capsule outside the blister pack.
