WHAT FAVYND 18 MICROGRAM IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Favynd 18 microgram helps people who have chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease (COPD) to
breathe more easily. COPD is a chronic lung disease that causes
shortness of breath and coughing.
The term COPD is associated with the conditions chronic bronchitis and
emphysema. As COPD is a
chronic disease you should use Favynd 18 microgram every day and not
only when you have
breathing problems or other symptoms of COPD.
Favynd 18 microgram is a long-acting bronchodilator that helps to open
your airways and makes it
easier to get air in and out of the lungs. Regular use of Favynd 18
microgram can also help you when
you have on-going shortness of breath related to your disease and will
help you to minimise the
effects of the disease on your everyday life. It also helps you to be
active longer. Daily use of Favynd
18 microgram will also help to prevent sudden, short-term worsening of
your COPD symptoms which
may last for several days.
The effect of this medicine lasts for 24 hours, so you only need to
use it once a day.
