WHAT XOTERNA BREEZHALER IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
WHAT XOTERNA BREEZHALER IS
This medicine contains two active substances called indacaterol and
glycopyrronium. These belong to
a group of medicines called bronchodilators.
WHAT XOTERNA BREEZHALER IS USED FOR
This medicine is used to make breathing easier for adult patients who
have breathing difficulties due to
a lung disease called chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). In
COPD the muscles around the
airways tighten. This makes breathing difficult. This medicine blocks
the tightening of these muscles
in the lungs, making it easier for air to get in and out of the lungs.
If you use this medicine once a day, it will help to reduce the
effects of COPD on your everyday life.
