Always use as prescribed by a healthcare professional.

What is Glycopyrronium Bromide, Indacaterol Maleate used for?

Xoterna Breezhaler is primarily used to manage symptoms of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), including chronic bronchitis and emphysema.

It is designed for regular use to maintain lung function over time.

What are the side effects of Glycopyrronium Bromide, Indacaterol Maleate?

Users of Xoterna Breezhaler often report improved ease of breathing within minutes of inhalation.

These effects are generally mild and tend to lessen with continued use.
