WHAT GARDETTE IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR Gardette is an inhaler that is used to treat the symptoms of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) in adults aged 18 and older. COPD is a long-term disease of the airways in the lungs, which is often caused by cigarette smoking. Gardette contains two different medicines: budesonide and formoterol fumarate dihydrate. Budesonide belongs to a group of medicines called ‘corticosteroids’. It works by reducing and preventing swelling and inflammation in your lungs. Formoterol fumarate dihydrate belongs to a group of medicines called ‘long-acting beta 2 adrenoceptor agonists’ or ‘bronchodilators’. It works by relaxing the muscles in your airways. This helps you to breathe more easily. Do not use this medicine as a “reliever” inhaler. 2. WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE YOU USE GARDETTE DO NOT USE GARDETTE: if you are allergic to budesonide, formoterol or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).

COPD _Recommended dose:_ _Adults:_ 2 actuations twice daily. GENERAL INFORMATION _Special patient groups:_ There are no special dosing requirements for elderly patients. There are no data available for use of Gardette in patients with hepatic or renal impairment.
