Onbrez

Description

Onbrez is a medication that contains the active ingredient Indacaterol. It belongs to a class of drugs called long-acting beta-agonists (LABAs) that help relax the muscles in your airways, making it easier for you to breathe. Onbrez is suitable for individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) to help improve airflow in the lungs. It is particularly beneficial for those experiencing symptoms such as wheezing, shortness of breath, and coughing.

Dosage and usage

You should take Onbrez exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider. The typical dosage is one capsule (150 mcg) once daily, preferably at the same time each day. Do not exceed the recommended dose, and do not take more than one capsule per day. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember, unless it is almost time for your next dose. In that case, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. If you have any concerns about your dosage, consult your doctor.
