Trimbow: How it Works and When It’s Used

How it works

Trimbow is a triple fixed-dose inhaler that may work by reducing airway inflammation, relaxing bronchial muscles, and alleviating symptoms like breathlessness.

According to the European Medicines Agency, it combines beclometasone (a corticosteroid), formoterol (a long-acting beta-agonist), and glycopyrronium (a long-acting muscarinic antagonist) to target different contributors to chronic airway constriction.

Clinical applications

Trimbow is indicated as maintenance therapy for adults with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) who experience frequent symptoms or exacerbations. It’s also used in some cases of asthma-COPD overlap syndrome, as noted in our blog on ACOS.

It is not suitable for the initial treatment of asthma and should only be used under medical supervision for chronic management.
