Breztri Aerosphere is a prescription inhaler used to treat chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) , a chronic lung disease that includes chronic bronchitis, emphysema, or both. It contains three active ingredients:
Budesonide – A corticosteroid that reduces inflammation in the lungs.
Glycopyrrolate – A long-acting muscarinic antagonist (LAMA) that helps relax airway muscles.
Formoterol fumarate – A long-acting beta agonist (LABA) that helps open the airways.
Breztri is used for the long-term maintenance treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), including:
Chronic bronchitis – Persistent inflammation of the airways.
Emphysema – Damage to the air sacs in the lungs.
It reduces inflammation in the airways (Budesonide).
Relaxes airway muscles to improve airflow (Glycopyrrolate).
Opens airways for easier breathing (Formoterol).
Mechanism of action
Each of the 3 ingredients in Breztri has a different mechanism of action. Budesonide helps to decrease inflammation in the lungs which can lead to breathing problems. Glycopyrrolate blocks the effects of acetylcholine (a neurotransmitter) in the lungs, which allows the airways to relax and widen, making breathing easier. Formoterol binds to and activates beta2-adrenergic receptors on the smooth muscle cells in the airways. This activation also allows the airways to relax and widen, making breathing easier. Formoterol has a long-lasting effect, typically lasting 12 hours or more, which provides sustained symptom relief throughout the day for COPD patients.
