Striverdi Respimat

Drug Details

Olodaterol, marketed as Striverdi Respimat, is a long-acting bronchodilator known as a long-acting beta agonist (LABA). It is specifically used for the maintenance treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in adults, which includes conditions like chronic bronchitis and emphysema. This medication functions by relaxing the muscles around the airways, facilitating easier breathing. For optimal results, it is recommended to take 2 inhalations once daily at the same time. It is important to note that Olodaterol does not provide immediate relief and should not be used during sudden breathing difficulties. For such cases, a quick-relief inhaler, like albuterol, should always be kept handy. Olodaterol is not approved for asthma treatment, and using it without an inhaled corticosteroid can increase the risk of serious breathing issues. Some side effects may occur, such as the common cold and upper respiratory tract infections, although these are not frequent. Always consult your healthcare provider before starting any new medication.
