Detailed Information

How it works

Ultibro Breezhaler is a combination of two long-acting bronchodilators, indacaterol and glycopyrronium. It may work by relaxing airway muscles, making it easier to breathe throughout the day.

This dual-action formula helps improve lung function and reduce symptoms such as shortness of breath.

Clinical applications

According to Israeli prescribing information, Ultibro Breezhaler is intended for regular maintenance treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in adults, including older adults who may struggle with breathlessness or frequent exacerbations.

It is not for acute relief and should be used consistently to support daily respiratory function.
