The Tudorza Pressair Inhaler is used for the prevention of bronchospasm in adults with chronic bronchitis, emphysema, or other forms of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

This medication is not meant to help treat a sudden bronchospasm, but may help prevent the frequency or severity of the attacks.

Tudorza Pressair Inhaler (aclidinium bromide) is effective at preventing symptoms of COPD because as a bronchodilator, it is able to relax the airways surrounding muscles to allow easier breathing and reduces symptoms.

FAQs

What medications should I tell my doctor I take?

You should tell your doctor about all medications you are currently taking when being prescribed a new medication. However, some of the important ones to mention include bladder or urinary medicines (such as darifenacin, fesoterodine, oxybutynin, tolterodine, solifenacin), bronchodilators (such as ipratropium or tiotropium), cold or allergy medicine that contains an antihistamine, medication for Parkinson's disease, or medication to treat excess stomach acid, stomach ulcer, motion sickness, or irritable bowel syndrome.

Asides from reducing symptoms, what else can this medication do?

Having COPD can affect a person’s daily life in a lot of ways. Due to COPD, some patients often have to miss work, school, activities such as sports or travel, and some patients may find themselves with anxiety over the condition, especially when in public. Therefore, by reducing symptoms of this condition, it may also increase quality of life, such as by lessening the amount of work or school they need to take off or the amount of activities they could not participate in.

How should I store this medication?

As with most medications, Tudorza Pressair Inhaler should be stored in an area where children and pets cannot reach it; keep the medicine in room temperature in a low risk area of moisture and heat.

How many doses does each inhaler consist of?

Each inhaler consists of 60 puffs. This medication is typically taken twice a day, so one inhaler should last about 1 month (30 days).
