FDA has approved the preparation Arcapta Neohaler for the treatment COPD

31.08.11

Arcapta Neohaler (indacaterol inhalation powder) has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the long term, once-daily maintenance bronchodilator treatment of airflow obstruction in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) including chronic bronchitis and/or emphysema.

Arcapta Neohaler is a new molecular entity in the beta2-adrenergic agonist class that helps muscles around the airways of the lungs stay relaxed to prevent symptoms of COPD, such as wheezing and breathlessness. Arcapta Neohaler is not intended to treat asthma or sudden, severe symptoms of COPD. The safety and efficacy of Arcapta Neohaler was demonstrated in six confirmatory clinical trials that included 5,474 patients ages 40 and older with a clinical diagnosis of COPD. Those treated had a smoking history of at least one pack a day for 10 years and exhibited moderate-to-severe decreases in lung function.

In the instruction to the application of Arcapta Neohaler there is prevention that the beta2-adrenergic agonist class can raise risk of the death bound to asthmas. All preparations of class LABA, including Arcapta Neohaler, shouldn't be applied at sick of an asthma, except for using in a combination to the preparations of basic therapy supervising the way of disease. The manufacturer of a medicine—the company Novartis.
