Product Overview
About Ulunar Breezhaler
Ulunar Breezhaler is a medicine that contains two active substances, indacaterol and glycopyrronium.
What it is used for
It is used as maintenance (regular) treatment to relieve symptoms of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in adults.
How it is used
Ulunar Breezhaler is available as capsules containing a powder for inhalation and can only be obtained with a prescription. The recommended dose is one inhalation once a day of the powder content of a single capsule. It is taken at the same time each day using the Ulunar Breezhaler device. The contents of the capsules must not be inhaled using any other device. In patients with severely reduced kidney function Ulunar Breezhaler should only be used after a careful benefit-risk assessment.
How it works
The active substances in Ulunar Breezhaler, indacaterol and glycopyrronium, work in different ways to widen the airways and improve breathing in COPD. Indacaterol is a long-acting beta-2 agonist. It works by attaching to beta-2-adrenergic receptors found in the muscles of many organs including the airways of the lungs. When inhaled, indacaterol reaches the receptors in the airways and activates them. This causes the muscles of the airways to relax. Glycopyrronium is a muscarinic receptor antagonist. It works by blocking some receptors called muscarinic receptors, which control the contraction of muscles. When glycopyrronium is inhaled, it causes the muscles of the airways to relax. The combined action of the two active substances helps to keep the airways open and allows the patient to breathe more easily. Muscarinic receptor antagonists and long-acting beta-2 agonists are commonly combined in the management of COPD.
Active substance: indacaterol (85 micrograms) and glycopyrronium (43 micrograms)
