Ultibro Breezhaler is used to improve breathing problems caused by COPD such as wheezing, coughing and shortness of breath. It reduces your symptoms over the long term. Ultibro Breezhaler is long-acting, which means that it works throughout the day. It must be used every day.
Ultibro contains glycopyrronium and indacaterol powder in a capsule which is for inhalation with your Breezhaler only. The powder from the capsule is breathed into your lungs using the Breezhaler device provided. Do not swallow the capsules – they must be used by inhaling the contents of the capsule with the Breezhaler. Using an inhaler device enables the medicine to go straight into your airways when you breathe in. This means that your airways and lungs are treated, but very little of the medicine gets into the rest of your body.
Ultibro Breezhaler does not give immediate relief from wheezing, tight chest and shortness of breath. |
If you need quick relief from these symptoms, use your ‘reliever’ medicine such as salbutamol or terbutaline. |
