Riltrava Aerosphere

Riltrava Aerosphere is a medicine used to treat patients with moderate to severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), a long-term disease in which the airways and air sacs in the lungs become damaged or blocked, leading to difficulty breathing. Riltrava Aerosphere is used for maintenance (regular) treatment in adults whose disease is not controlled well enough with a combination of inhaled medicines consisting of a long-acting beta-2 agonist plus either a corticosteroid or a long-acting muscarinic antagonist. Riltrava Aerosphere contains the active substances formoterol, glycopyrronium bromide and budesonide. This medicine is the same as Trixeo Aerosphere, which is already authorised in the EU. The company that makes Trixeo Aerosphere has agreed that its scientific data can be used for Riltrava Aerosphere (‘informed consent’).
