Breztri 160/7.2/5 mcg Aerosphere Inhalation Powder 120 Doses
Breztri 160/7.2/5 mcg Aerosphere is an inhalation powder containing three active ingredients: budesonide, glycopyrronium, and formoterol fumarate dihydrate. It is designed for adults with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), a long-term lung condition affecting the airways. Budesonide, a corticosteroid, reduces lung inflammation, while glycopyrronium and formoterol, both bronchodilators, prevent muscle tightening around the airways, facilitating easier airflow. Breztri improves COPD symptoms such as shortness of breath, wheezing, and coughing, and helps prevent exacerbations. Used regularly twice daily, it reduces the impact of COPD on daily life.
