Abstract :
[en] Indacaterol is a novel ultra long-acting beta 2-agonist (ultra-LABA), given once-daily, developed for the treatment of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). The clinical studies suggest that indacaterol produces a rapid (within 5 minutes) and sustained bronchodilation (at least 24 hours) in patients with COPD. It improves also several important parameters as lung function, the quality of life, symptoms, exercise capacity, resting and dynamic hyperinflation, and exacerbations, while being well tolerated. These outcomes justify its use in moderate to very severe COPD patients. This review will give a brief summary of recent clinical data on the indacaterol, its comparison with other pharmacological agents used in the treatment of COPD, and also some information about its use in routine.
