Acetohydroxamic acid and Bevespi Aerosphere

• Generic Name: acetohydroxamic acid
• Dosage Forms: n.a.
• Other Brand Names: Lithostat

Acetohydroxamic acid helps prevent a build-up of ammonia in urine that can be caused by a bladder infection. Increased ammonia in urine can cause the growth of kidney stones.

Acetohydroxamic acid is used to keep urine ammonia levels low in people who have a certain type of chronic bladder infection.

Acetohydroxamic acid is not an antibiotic and will not treat the infection itself. acetohydroxamic acid is only part of a treatment program that may also include antibiotics to treat the infection, and surgery to remove kidney stones. Follow your doctor's instructions very closely.

Acetohydroxamic acid may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.

Bevespi Aerosphere is an inhalation aerosol containing a combination of formoterol and glycopyrrolate. Formoterol is a bronchodilator. Glycopyrrolate is an anticholinergic. These medications work by relaxing muscles in the airways to improve breathing.

Bevespi Aerosphere is used to prevent airflow obstruction or bronchospasm and reduce flare-ups in adults with COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), including bronchitis and emphysema.

Bevespi Aerosphere is not for use in treating asthma.

Formoterol may increase the risk of death in people with asthma, but the risk in people with COPD is not known. Talk with your doctor about your individual risk.
