What does it do?

Indacaterol maleate is a long-acting beta-2 adrenergic agonist that relaxes bronchial smooth muscle, aiding in airway dilation. It is primarily used for the relief of dyspnea in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Indacaterol maleate binds to beta-2 receptors in the lungs, relaxing the bronchial muscles. This results in widened airways, allowing for smoother airflow and more comfortable breathing.

Approved uses differ by product. Check each product's information for its actual use.

Good to know

Unlike short-acting beta-2 agonists that work quickly, indacaterol maleate has a long-lasting effect, allowing for symptom control with once-daily inhalation. Additionally, its micronized form makes it easier to reach deep into the lungs when inhaled.
