Tiotropium bromide is a long-acting muscarinic antagonist (LAMA) that works by blocking the action of acetylcholine on muscarinic receptors in the airway smooth muscle. This leads to bronchodilation, which helps to keep the airways open, making it easier to breathe for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma.
