COPD Inhaler
Long-Lasting Support for Easier Breathing
Tiova 9 mcg is a maintenance inhaler used to help manage chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It works over an extended period to help keep the airways open, supporting easier breathing and reducing symptoms such as wheezing and breathlessness.
