Indactiv-G (Powder For Inhalation) Capsule 30's

Indactiv-G (Powder For Inhalation) Capsule 30's is indicated as a maintenance treatment of asthma in adults. Asthma is a long-term lung disease where the muscles around the smaller airways become tight (bronchoconstriction) and inflamed, leading to difficulty in breathing.

Indactiv-G (Powder For Inhalation) Capsule 30's is a combination of three drugs: Glycopyrronium Bromide and Indacaterol (bronchodilators), and Mometasone Furoate (corticosteroids). Glycopyrronium Bromide and Indacaterol relax the muscles of the small airways in the lungs, which helps open the airways and makes it easier for air to get in and out. Mometasone Furoate reduces the inflammation (swelling and irritation) in the small airways in the lungs. This gradually eases breathing problems and also helps to prevent asthma attacks.

Indactiv-G (Powder For Inhalation) Capsule 30's is for inhalation only. Do not swallow Indactiv-G (Powder For Inhalation) Capsule 30's.

Asthma: It is a chronic (long-term) lung disease where the muscles around the smaller airways become tight (bronchoconstriction) and inflamed, leading to difficulty in breathing. The symptoms of asthma include wheezing (whistling sound while breathing), chest tightness, cough and shortness of breath, especially at night. The symptoms of mild persistent asthma may occur more than two times a week and up to 4 nights in a month, whereas, in the case of severe persistent asthma, the symptoms occur several times every day and most nights.
