How Glycopyrrolate + Arformoterol works

Glycopyrrolate + Arformoterol is a combination of glycopyrrolate and arformoterol. Glycopyrrolate blocks the activity of an endogenous chemical messenger (acetylcholine) in the brain. This helps the muscles around the lungs stay relaxed and reduces COPD symptoms such as coughing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath. Arformoterol relaxes and opens air passages, making it easier to breathe.

Expert advice for Glycopyrrolate + Arformoterol

  • Gargle with warm water after each inhalation to avoid any fungal infections in your mouth and throat.
  • Do not smoke. Smoking causes irritation and damage to the lungs and worsens your condition.
  • If you develop a skin rash, hives, swelling of the tongue, lips, or face, or any allergic reaction to this medicine or if your breathing gets worse, check with your doctor right away.
  • If you have diabetes, you may need to check your blood glucose more frequently, as Glycopyrrolate + Arformoterol can affect the sugar levels in your blood. Your doctor will advise you about this.
  • If you are overweight, it is advisable to lose weight. This is because being overweight means that you have to work much harder to breathe in to inflate your lungs.
