Difizma Capsule is a combination of glycopyrronium, indacaterol, and mometasone. Glycopyrronium belongs to a class of medications called anticholinergics. It works by decreasing the secretions in the airways. Indacaterol works by relaxing and opening air passages in the lungs. Mometasone works by calming down the immune system. This in turn decreases the swelling in respiratory passages and lungs enabling easier breathing. It also stops symptoms such as wheezing and coughing.
Can I smoke while taking Difizma Capsule?
No, it is recommended to avoid smoking while taking Difizma Capsule. Smoking can irritate the lungs, and this medicine may make breathing more difficult, especially in asthma patients. If you are having trouble quitting smoking, consult your doctor for guidance.
Can Difizma Capsule be used to relieve sudden asthma attacks?
No, Difizma Capsule is designed to be taken daily to control asthma symptoms. It is not intended for use during sudden asthma attacks. If you are experiencing a sudden attack of breathlessness or wheezing, use your rescue inhaler as prescribed by your doctor and seek medical attention if necessary.
