This inhaled medicine may be used to treat chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in adults. It helps keep the airways open, which may make breathing easier and may reduce shortness of breath, wheezing and coughing. It is usually used every day as a maintenance treatment to help keep symptoms under control. It is not suitable for the rapid relief of sudden breathing problems or acute attacks.
It contains umeclidinium, which relaxes the muscles around the airways. This helps the airways stay wider for longer and supports easier breathing. The effect may be noticed quickly by some people, while for others it can take longer before any improvement is felt. The inhaler is designed to be simple to use. It is important to use it every day, even when you feel well, so that symptoms remain controlled as much as possible.
