Comprehensive Drug Guide

How Does Diochloy Work?

Diochloy works by stimulating beta-adrenergic receptors in the lungs or blocking muscarinic receptors in the airways (depending on the specific formulation). This action relaxes the smooth muscles around the airways, making it easier to breathe and reducing symptoms of COPD such as shortness of breath and wheezing.



Common Dosages

  • Inhaler: 1-2 puffs every 4-6 hours (short-acting version)
  • Nebulizer solution: 0.5 mg via nebulizer every 6-8 hours (long-acting version)

Typical Dosing

  • For maintenance therapy in COPD, the typical dose of Diochloy is 1-2 inhalations every 12-24 hours depending on the severity of symptoms. For rescue treatment during an exacerbation, Diochloy may be used more frequently as needed, under the guidance of a healthcare provider.



Typical Dosing

FDA Approved Indications

  • Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
  • Chronic bronchitis
  • Emphysema


Who Shouldn't Take Diochloy?

  • Known hypersensitivity to beta-agonists or anticholinergics.
  • Severe cardiovascular diseases, as the medication may increase heart rate and blood pressure.


Advice From The Pharmacist

  • Ensure you are familiar with the proper inhalation technique to get the maximum benefit from Diochloy. If using an inhaler, shake well before use and inhale deeply.
  • Rinse your mouth with water after using Diochloy to prevent throat irritation or dry mouth.
  • If you experience chest pain or irregular heartbeats after using Diochloy, contact your healthcare provider immediately.
