Safely Buy Bevespi Aerosphere ( Glycopyrrolate/Formoterol Fumarate ) from Canada Prescriptions Plus.

Indications

Bevespi Aerosphere is a prescription medicine used to treat chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in adults. COPD includes chronic bronchitis, emphysema, or both.

Bevespi Aerosphere contains two active ingredients: glycopyrrolate and formoterol fumarate. Glycopyrrolate is a long-acting muscarinic antagonist (LAMA) that helps to relax the muscles in the airways and improve breathing.

Formoterol fumarate is a long-acting beta2-adrenergic agonist (LABA) that also helps to relax the muscles in the airways and improve breathing.

Bevespi Aerosphere is typically prescribed as a maintenance bronchodilator treatment to relieve symptoms in adult patients with COPD.

Use and Dosage

Recommended Dosage and Administration

• The recommended dosage of BEVESPI AEROSPHERE is glycopyrrolate 18 mcg and formoterol fumarate 9.6 mcg (administered as two inhalations of BEVESPI AEROSPHERE [glycopyrrolate/formoterol fumarate 9 mcg/4.8 mcg]) twice daily in the morning and in the evening by oral inhalation. Do not take more than two inhalations twice daily.

Preparation

• Priming BEVESPI AEROSPHERE is essential to ensure appropriate drug content in each actuation.
