In Treatment of Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a group of lung diseases that cause breathing difficulties. COPD is caused by swelling of the airways that carry air in and out of the lungs. Glynium Respicap relaxes the muscles of these airways and widens them. This makes you breathe easy and relieves symptoms such as tightness in your chest, shortness of breath, wheezing, and coughing. Avoid smoking and minimize your exposure to pollution, dust, and fumes. Additionally, a little exercise each day can help you stay strong. Talk to your doctor about how much exercise is good for you.
