Lonhala is indicated for the maintenance treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), including chronic bronchitis and emphysema. It is not intended for acute bronchospasm relief.
As an anticholinergic agent, Lonhala blocks muscarinic receptors in the bronchial smooth muscle, preventing acetylcholine from causing bronchoconstriction. This results in sustained bronchodilation and improved airflow.
Common side effects may include respiratory infections and dry mouth. Use with caution in patients with narrow-angle glaucoma, urinary retention, or severe renal impairment. Do not use if hypersensitive to glycopyrronium or any formulation components.
