Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to compare the absorption of two different inhalation products with the reference product in healthy volunteers.
Detailed description
Healthy subjects will be enrolled and will receive single doses of 2 test inhalation products and one reference inhalation product according to a three-period cross-over design. Subjects will use the patient instruction leaflet to understand how each inhaler is administered. Plasma tiotropium levels will be measured pre-dose and over 8 hours post-dose.
