About 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. Use Indactiv-G (Powder For Inhalation) Capsule 30's as prescribed by your doctor. You are advised to use Indactiv-G (Powder For Inhalation) Capsule 30's for as long as your doctor has advised it based on your medical condition. Indactiv-G (Powder For Inhalation) Capsule 30's may cause common side effects such as runny nose, sore throat, sudden difficulty breathing and chest tightness with coughing or wheezing, oral thrush (a fungal infection in the mouth), headache or fast heartbeat. Most of these side effects of Indactiv-G (Powder For Inhalation) Capsule 30's do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

If you are allergic to mometasone furoate, indacaterol, glycopyrronium bromide, or any other ingredients of Indactiv-G (Powder For Inhalation) Capsule 30's, please tell your doctor. Indactiv-G (Powder For Inhalation) Capsule 30's is not recommended for children below 18 years.
