This medication is used as a bronchodilator for the maintenance therapy of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), relieving symptoms of chronic respiratory diseases such as chronic bronchitis or emphysema and making breathing easier. It relaxes the muscles in the bronchi to promote airflow, improving shortness of breath. Therefore, it helps maintain a more comfortable daily life for patients with COPD.

If you experience increased tightening of the airways after using the medication, discontinue use immediately and consult your physician. It is advisable not to use this medication in patients with asthma, as its safety and efficacy have not been clearly demonstrated.

Common side effects include symptoms of a cold, headache, cough, dry mouth, and diarrhea, while serious side effects can occur infrequently. Cardiovascular effects such as arrhythmia or increased blood pressure may arise, so inform your physician if such symptoms occur. Using this medication with other bronchodilators or certain medications may increase side effects, so it is essential to consult your physician if you are taking other medications.
