Brovana is indicated for long-term maintenance treatment of bronchoconstriction in patients with COPD, including chronic bronchitis and emphysema. It is not intended for acute bronchospasm relief.
As a long-acting beta2-adrenergic agonist (LABA), arformoterol binds to beta-2 receptors in bronchial smooth muscle, causing relaxation of airway muscles and resulting bronchodilation that lasts approximately 12 hours per dose.
Brovana carries a FDA black box warning regarding increased risk of asthma-related death with LABAs. It should not be used with other LABAs or for acute symptom relief. Patients should use it regularly as prescribed for optimal benefit.
