Indacaterol Maleate is a prescription medication used for the long-term management of chronic breathing disorders. It belongs to a class of drugs known as Long-Acting Beta2-Agonists (LABAs).
Mechanism of Action: It works by relaxing and widening the muscles in the airways (bronchi) of the lungs. It does this by stimulating beta2-receptors in the lungs, which causes the muscles to relax. This makes it easier to breathe.
Form: It is typically available as a dry powder in a capsule, which is used with a specific inhaler device. The capsule is punctured inside the inhaler, and the powder is inhaled into the lungs.
Key Feature: Its effects are "long-acting," meaning a single dose provides relief for a full 24 hours.
Indacaterol is approved for the maintenance treatment of chronic breathing conditions in adults. It is not a rescue inhaler for sudden asthma attacks or acute breathlessness.
The main uses are:
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
Chronic Bronchitis: Long-term inflammation of the airways.
Emphysema: Damage to the air sacs (alveoli) in the lungs.
This is the most common and primary use. COPD includes conditions like:
Indacaterol helps to improve lung function, reduce breathlessness, and prevent exacerbations (flare-ups) in COPD patients.
Asthma (in specific formulations and regions)
In some countries, indacaterol is approved for the maintenance treatment of asthma in adults. However, it is crucial to note that when used for asthma, it must always be used in combination with an inhaled corticosteroid (an anti-inflammatory medicine). This is often available as a fixed-dose combination product (e.g., Indacaterol + Mometasone).
Black Box Warning (US): LABAs, like indacaterol, carry an FDA Black Box Warning for an increased risk of asthma-related death. Because of this, using a LABA alone without an inhaled corticosteroid for asthma is strongly discouraged.
Not for Acute Attacks: Indacaterol should never be used to relieve sudden, acute symptoms of COPD or asthma. For that, a short-acting bronchodilator (like albuterol/salbutamol) must be used as a "rescue inhaler."
Long-Term Maintenance: It is a controller medication used every day to keep the airways open and prevent symptoms over time.
Common Side Effects:
Headache
Cough (sometimes right after inhalation)
Sore throat (nasopharyngitis)
Runny nose
Nausea
Palpitations (fast or irregular heartbeat)
Serious Side Effects (Seek medical help if these occur):
Chest pain, fast or pounding heartbeat.
Worsening breathing problems, or needing your rescue inhaler more often.
Signs of a serious allergic reaction (rash, hives, swelling).
High blood pressure.
Low potassium levels (which can cause muscle cramps or weakness).
