WHAT DALIRESP IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Daliresp contains the active substance roflumilast, which is an
anti-inflammatory medicine called
phosphodiesterase-4 inhibitor. Roflumilast reduces the activity of
phosphodiesterase-4, a protein
occurring naturally in body cells. When the activity of this protein
is reduced, there is less inflammation
in the lungs. This helps to stop narrowing of airways occurring in
CHRONIC OBSTRUCTIVE PULMONARY
DISEASE (COPD). Thus Daliresp eases breathing problems.
Daliresp is used for maintenance treatment of severe COPD in adults
who in the past had frequent
worsening of their COPD symptoms (so-called exacerbations) and who
have chronic bronchitis. COPD
is a chronic disease of the lungs that results in tightening of the
airways (obstruction) and swelling and
irritation of the walls of the small air passages (inflammation). This
