WHAT TOVANOR BREEZHALER IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
WHAT TOVANOR BREEZHALER IS
This medicine contains an active substance called glycopyrronium
bromide. This belongs to a group of
medicines called bronchodilators.
WHAT TOVANOR 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.
