WHAT OSLIF BREEZHALER IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
WHAT OSLIF BREEZHALER IS
Oslif Breezhaler contains the active substance indacaterol which
belongs to a group of medicines
called bronchodilators. When you inhale it, it relaxes the muscles in
the walls of the small air passages
in the lungs. This helps open up the airways, making it easier to get
air in and out.
WHAT OSLIF BREEZHALER IS USED FOR
Oslif Breezhaler 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
relaxes these muscles in the lungs,
making it easier for air to get in and out of the lungs.
