Active Ingredient Description
Eformoterol

Formoterol is a predominantly selective β2-stimulator. Formoterol has bronchodilator activity in patients with reversible obstructive airway diseases. In humans formoterol is effective in the prophylaxis of bronchospasm induced by methacholine challenge.

Formoterol and Glycopyrronium bromide

Combination of two bronchodilators: glycopyrronium, a long-acting muscarinic antagonist (also referred to as an anticholinergic), and formoterol, a long-acting β2-adrenergic agonist with a rapid onset of action.

Glycopyrronium

Glycopyrronium is an inhaled long-acting muscarinic receptor antagonist (anticholinergic) for once-daily maintenance bronchodilator treatment of COPD. Glycopyrronium works by blocking the bronchoconstrictor action of acetylcholine on airway smooth muscle cells, thereby dilating the airways.
