Why This Information Matters

- Prescribing Trends: See which medications—both generic and brand-name—this provider has most frequently prescribed.
- Specialization Insights: The types of drugs prescribed can give insight into the provider’s areas of focus or specialization, whether it’s managing chronic conditions, addressing acute illnesses, or providing preventive care.
- Cost Awareness: Learn about the total drug costs associated with these prescriptions, which may help you anticipate your own costs and coverage needs.
- Patient-Centered Decision Making: Understanding a provider’s prescribing practices helps you align their expertise with your health goals, ensuring the care you receive is consistent with your expectations.

- What is this prescription?
- A scopolamine derivative and CHOLINERGIC ANTAGONIST that functions as a BRONCHODILATOR AGENT. It is used in the treatment of CHRONIC OBSTRUCTIVE PULMONARY DISEASE.
- What is this prescription used for?
- Tiotropium is used to control and prevent symptoms (such as wheezing, shortness of breath) caused by ongoing lung disease (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease-COPD which includes bronchitis and emphysema). It works by relaxing the muscles around the airways so that they open up and you can breathe more easily. Tiotropium belongs to a class of drugs known as anticholinergics. Controlling symptoms of breathing problems can decrease time lost from work or school. This medication must be used regularly to be effective. It does not work right away and should not be used to relieve sudden breathing problems. If wheezing or sudden shortness of breath occurs, use your quick-relief inhaler (such as albuterol, also called salbutamol in some countries) as prescribed.
This dataset provides information about prescriptions written for Medicare beneficiaries in the year 2022. It does not include prescriptions for patients with private insurance, Medicaid, or other coverage types. However, this information remains valuable for all patients, as it may reflect the provider's overall prescribing preferences and approach to pharmaceutical care. This can help you make better-informed decisions when considering or continuing care with this provider.
