Description

Indications

Budesonide-glycopyrrolate-formoterol is a medication combination that is utilized to alleviate the symptoms of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), including chronic bronchitis and emphysema.

Budesonide is classified as a corticosteroid and operates by decreasing inflammation in the lungs, as well as reducing swelling and irritation in the small air passages within the lungs. This results in the maintenance of open airways and improvement in breathing.

Glycopyrrolate belongs to the category of long-acting muscarinic antagonists (LAMAs), while formoterol is a long-acting beta2-agonist (LABA). These two medications operate in different ways to open up the airways, thereby facilitating easier breathing.

Uses and Dosage

The recommended dosage for budesonide-glycopyrrolate-formoterol is two inhalations taken twice daily. For optimal benefits and to assist with remembering to use the inhaler, use it at the same time each day.

Have your doctor or pharmacist explain how to use the inhaler and to carefully read the instructions before using it. Should you have any questions regarding the usage of the inhaler, consult your healthcare professional.

After inhaling the medication dose, rinse your mouth with water and spit it out to decrease the possibility of developing thrush.

Several factors, including body weight, other medical conditions, and other medications, can influence the required dosage of medication for an individual. Therefore, if your physician prescribes a different dosage from the ones listed, do not alter your medication usage without consulting your doctor.

Take this medication precisely as prescribed by your doctor. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as possible and continue with your regular dosing schedule. In the event that it is almost time for the subsequent dose, skip the missed one and continue with your regular schedule. Avoid taking a double dose to compensate for the missed one.

Disclose your medical history, particularly any current or past infections such as tuberculosis or herpes, heart problems like irregular heartbeat or chest pain, high blood pressure, seizures, bone loss, eye problems such as cataracts or glaucoma, overactive thyroid, diabetes, difficulty in urinating due to an enlarged prostate, or liver disease.
