Loftair-L Capsule with Inhaler Kit
Loftair-L Capsule with Inhaler Kit belongs to the group of medicines called bronchodilators indicated for long-term, maintenance treatment of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). COPD is a group of lung diseases with emphysema (shortness of breath) and chronic bronchitis (inflammation of the bronchial tube lining). In COPD, the muscles around the airways tighten, making it difficult to breathe.
LoftairL Capsule with Inhaler Kit is a combination of two medicines, namely: Indacaterol and Glycopyrrolate. Indacaterol relaxes and widens the openings in the airways, making it easier for the air to get in and out of the lungs. Glycopyrrolate decreases the secretions in the airways. Together, Loftair-L Capsule with Inhaler Kit provides relief from COPD.
Use Loftair-L Capsule with Inhaler Kit as advised. You are advised to use Loftair-L Capsule with Inhaler Kit for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition.

Do not stop using Loftair-L Capsule with Inhaler Kit on your own as it might cause worsening of symptoms. Consult your doctor before taking Loftair-L Capsule with Inhaler Kit if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Loftair-L Capsule with Inhaler Kit may cause dizziness, so drive with caution.
