Arcapta Neohaler

Arcapta Neohaler is a long-acting beta2-adrenergic agonist (LABA) inhalation powder used to control and prevent symptoms like wheezing and shortness of breath caused by ongoing lung disease (COPD). It works by relaxing the muscles around the airways in the lungs so that they open up and make breathing easier.

Dosage by Body Weight

The recommended dosage is the inhalation of the contents of one 75 mcg capsule once daily using the Neohaler inhaler. It should be administered at the same time each day. The capsules must only be inhaled orally using the Neohaler device and must not be swallowed.
