Aclidinium: Uses, Side Effects, and Drug Interactions

Brand names: DUAKLIR PRESSAIR

# Overview of Aclidinium Aclidinium is a medicine used to help people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, commonly called COPD. COPD is a serious lung disease that makes it hard to breathe. This medicine comes in an inhaler that you use to breathe the medicine directly into your lungs. It works by relaxing the muscles in your airways, which helps them open up so you can breathe more easily. Doctors prescribe aclidinium to help patients with COPD feel better and breathe more comfortably throughout the day. When taking aclidinium, it's important to know some safety information. You should not use it if you're allergic to aclidinium or any ingredients in the medicine. Be careful if you're also taking other medicines that affect your heart or blood pressure, because aclidinium can affect these too. Some water pills and other common medicines can work differently when combined with aclidinium, so always tell your doctor about all the medicines you take. Like most medicines, aclidinium can cause side effects in some people, so talk to your doctor if you notice any unusual symptoms after starting this medicine.
