What does it do?

Indacaterol acetate is a long-acting beta2-adrenergic receptor agonist that relaxes bronchial smooth muscle, alleviating airway obstruction. It is primarily used for the relief of dyspnea in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Indacaterol acetate binds to beta2-adrenergic receptors in the lungs, relaxing bronchial muscles. This widens the airways, facilitating airflow and making breathing easier.
