Each puff delivers-
This preparation contains two bronchodilators: Glycopyrronium is a long-acting muscarinic antagonist (LAMA) and Formoterol is a long-acting β2-adrenergic agonist (LABA) with a rapid onset of action. Glycopyrronium has similar affinity to the subtypes of muscarinic receptors M1 to M5. In the airways, it exhibits pharmacological effects through inhibition of the M3 receptor at the smooth muscle leading to bronchodilation. Formoterol causes direct relaxation of airway smooth muscle as a consequence of the increase in cyclic AMP through activation of adenylyl cyclase.
Adults: Should be administered as 2 puffs twice daily, in the morning and in the evening.
Use in patients with severe renal impairment should be considered if the potential benefit of the treatment outweighs the risk.
All LABAs are contraindicated in patients with asthma without use of a long-term asthma control medication. This preparation is also contraindicated in patients with hypersensitivity to glycopyrronium bromide, formoterol fumarate or to any component of the product.
