Indacaterol is a long-acting beta-agonist (LABA) medication used to treat chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma. It works by relaxing the muscles in the airways, making it easier to breathe. Indacaterol is not used to treat acute symptoms of COPD or asthma attacks and should be used in combination with other medications as part of a long-term treatment plan.
Dosage:
The recommended dose for most adults with COPD is one inhalation (75 micrograms) once daily, delivered through an inhaler device.
For adults with asthma, the recommended dose is one inhalation (150 micrograms) once daily.
