Arcapta Neohaler (Indacaterol)

Arcapta Neohaler Information:

Arcapta Neohaler (Indacaterol) is a bronchodilator known as a long-acting beta2 agonist used for the long-term maintenance treatment of airflow blockage in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) including chronic bronchitis and/or emphysema. COPD is a long-term lung disease that causes bronchospasm (wheezing or difficulty with breathing). It works by relaxing the muscles around the airways so that they open up and you can breathe more easily. It relieves cough, wheezing, shortness of breath, and troubled breathing. Arcapta Neohaler may be used alone or with other medications. It consists of a dry powder formulation of indacaterol maleate for oral inhalation only with the Neohaler inhaler. Arcapta Neohaler will not treat a bronchospasm attack that has already begun and is not for use in treating a sudden asthma attack. This medicine is available only with your doctor's prescription.
