Abstract:
The co-administration of a long-acting β2-agonist (LABA), and a long-acting muscarinic antagonist (LAMA), has been shown to be beneficial in the management of non-communicable chronic respiratory diseases, such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The resulting relaxation of the airways can be synergistically enhanced, reducing symptoms and optimizing lung function. This provides an insight into more effective treatments. In this study, the LABAs formoterol fumarate dihydrate (FOR) and indacaterol maleate (IND) were each associated with tiotropium bromide monohydrate …
