Esbriet and Glycopyrrolate and formoterol Inhalation

• Generic Name: pirfenidone
• Dosage Forms: capsule, tablet
• Other Brand Names: Esbriet

Esbriet (pirfenidone) is used to treat a lung disease called idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). IPF causes scar tissue to form deep within your lungs. The scar tissue thickens and becomes stiff or thick over time, which can make it harder for your lungs to work. Decreased lung function can make it hard for you to breathe. Other medical problems can occur when your brain, heart, and other organs do not get enough oxygen.

The cause of IPF is often unknown, but this condition is a progressive disease that can be fatal.

Esbriet is not a cure for IPF, but this medicine may slow the progress of this disease.

• Generic Name: formoterol / glycopyrrolate
• Dosage Forms: n.a.
• Other Brand Names: Bevespi Aerosphere

Glycopyrrolate and formoterol combination is used for the long-term maintenance treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This includes chronic bronchitis and emphysema. The medicines help open the air passages in the lung to increase air flow and are called bronchodilators. Formoterol and glycopyrrolate combination is an inhaler that is breathed in through the mouth.

Glycopyrrolate and formoterol is available only with your doctor's prescription.
