GLUREST F – Glycopyrrolate and Formoterol Fumarate Powder for Inhalation
Composition: Glycopyrrate 25 mcg + Formoterol 6 mcg
Glurest F capsules by Glurest F cap are powdered medication consisting of glycopyrrolate and formoterol, which helps in treating COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease). It helps by relaxing and opening the airways with the help of glycopyrrolate, and formoterol is a long-acting beta-agonist that helps to further dilate the airways and helps with breathing. GLUREST-F capsules are recommended for the treatment of asthma in patients who require a long-acting bronchodilator in addition to an inhaled corticosteroid.
Benefits:
- Glurest F is a medication for dealing with COPD, which is a long-term lung disease; it helps ease and relax airways that have been narrowed.
- It also helps ease mucus collected in the throat.
- The combination of glycopyrrolate and formoterol fumarate helps relax the muscles of the airways.
- Glurest F helps with breathing and airflow, eases air trapped in the lungs, and does not exacerbate COPD.
- Formoterol has a quick onset, in minutes, and a long duration of up to 12 hours.
- Glycopyrrolate and formoterol work effectively together because they work through different pathways and provide more airway opening for breathing.
