Utibron Neohaler (indacaterol maleate/glycopyrrolate)

USES: This product is used to control and prevent symptoms (such as wheezing and shortness of breath) caused by ongoing lung disease (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease-COPD, which includes chronic bronchitis and emphysema). Controlling symptoms of breathing problems helps you stay active. This inhaler contains 2 medications: indacaterol and glycopyrrolate.

Both drugs work by relaxing the muscles around the airways so that they open up and you can breathe more easily. Indacaterol belongs to the class of drugs known as long-acting beta agonists (LABAs). Glycopyrrolate belongs to a class of drugs known as anticholinergics.

Both drugs are also known as bronchodilators. This medication must be used regularly to be effective. It does not work right away and should not be used to relieve sudden shortness of breath.

If sudden breathing problems occur, use your quick-relief inhaler as prescribed. Indacaterol/glycopyrrolate is not approved to treat asthma. People with asthma using long-acting inhaled beta agonists (such as indacaterol) without also using an inhaled corticosteroid may have an increased risk of serious (sometimes fatal) breathing problems.
