WHAT RILTRAVA AEROSPHERE IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Riltrava Aerosphere contains three active substances: formoterol
fumarate dihydrate, glycopyrronium,
and budesonide.

Formoterol fumarate dihydrate and glycopyrronium belong to a group of
medicines called
‘bronchodilators’. They work in different ways to prevent
tightening of the muscles around
the airways, making it easier for air to get in and out of the lungs.

Budesonide belongs to a group of medicines called
‘corticosteroids’. These work by reducing
inflammation in your lungs.
Riltrava Aerosphere is an inhaler that is used for adults with a lung
disease called ‘chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease’ (or ‘COPD’), a long-term disease of the
airways in the lungs.
Riltrava Aerosphere is used to make breathing easier and improve
symptoms of COPD such as
shortness of breath, wheezing and cough. Riltrava Aerosphere can also
prevent flare-ups
(exacerbations) of COPD.
