This invention relates to tiotropium containing stable pharmaceutical solution formulations suitable for aerosol administration. More particularly, this invention relates to tiotropium containing stable pharmaceutical solution formulations suitable for aerosol administration wherein either an inorganic acid or an organic acid is added to the aerosol solution formulation which contains a tiotropium salt, preferably tiotropium bromide in solution with an environmentally safe hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) as a propellant, together with an organic compound as a cosolvent. The acid provides stability against degradation or decomposition of the medicament resulting largely from interaction of the medicament with the cosolvent and/or water present in the solution formulation. |
