Budesonide / Formoterol / Glycopyrronium
This medication combines three active ingredients—an inhaled corticosteroid and two long-acting bronchodilators—in a single inhaler. It is primarily prescribed for patients with moderate to severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) to reduce symptoms and prevent exacerbations. The triple therapy approach provides both anti-inflammatory and airway-widening effects.

Treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in patients who require triple therapy with an inhaled corticosteroid and two bronchodilators, particularly those with a history of exacerbations.
Budesonide reduces airway inflammation, formoterol relaxes bronchial smooth muscle by stimulating beta-2 receptors, and glycopyrronium blocks muscarinic receptors to prevent bronchoconstriction—together providing comprehensive symptom relief.
This is a maintenance medication, not a rescue inhaler; patients should always have a separate short-acting bronchodilator for acute symptoms. Rinse mouth after use to prevent oral thrush. Not recommended for acute asthma attacks. May increase risk of pneumonia in COPD patients; monitor for fever, increased cough, or breathing changes.
