Indacaterol Maleate

Indacaterol Maleate is used for the treatment of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder(COPD) ,a lung disorder in which flow of air to the lung is blocked. It helps in relaxing the muscles of the air passages, thus widening it and making it easier to breathe. Indacaterol Maleate is only for the inhalational purpose, so do not swallow the capsule. The first dose is given under medical supervision to prevent the side effects happen during first use. For better results, it is suggested to take it at the same time every day. The dose and how often you take it depends on what you are taking it for. Your doctor will decide how much you need to improve your symptoms.

It does not prevent the already started breathing trouble or COPD attack, hence always carry your medical inhaler with you for an emergency. Always use the mouthpiece to come along with the package. The most common side effects of this medicine include cold-like symptoms, runny nose, headache, cough, and dizziness. If these bother you or appear serious, let your doctor know.

Before taking this medicine, let your doctor know if you have a heart problem, or have high blood pressure or diabetes or thyroid. Inform your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
