How Catium ES works

Catium ES is a combination of two medicines: Indacaterol and Glycopyrrolate which treat chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Indacaterol is a bronchodilator which works by relaxing the muscles in the airways and widens the airways. Glycopyrrolate is an anticholinergic which works by decreasing the secretions in the airways. Together, they make breathing easier.

It does not work right away and should not be used to relieve sudden breathing problems.
Take the first dose of this medicine under medical supervision as it may cause wheezing or tightening of the airways (bronchospasm) immediately after using.
