Comprehensive Drug Guide

How Does Duaklir Pressair Work?

  • Aclidinium bromide blocks muscarinic receptors in the airway smooth muscle, preventing bronchoconstriction (narrowing of the airways).
  • Formoterol fumarate stimulates beta-2 adrenergic receptors, leading to relaxation of airway muscles and improved airflow.

Common Dosages

  • Inhaler: Each actuation delivers 400 mcg of aclidinium bromide and 12 mcg of formoterol fumarate. It is typically used twice daily (one inhalation in the morning and one in the evening).

Typical Dosing

  • For COPD maintenance: The typical dose is one inhalation twice daily, in the morning and evening, approximately 12 hours apart.

Typical Dosing

FDA Approved Indications

Duaklir Pressair is FDA-approved for the maintenance treatment of COPD, including chronic bronchitis and emphysema. It is not indicated for the relief of acute bronchospasm or asthma.



Who Shouldn't Take Duaklir Pressair?

  • Known hypersensitivity to aclidinium, formoterol, or any of the other ingredients in the inhaler.
  • Asthma (it is not indicated for asthma treatment and may increase the risk of asthma-related death).

Advice From The Pharmacist

  • Use Duaklir Pressair exactly as prescribed, usually one inhalation twice daily.
  • To use the inhaler, breathe in deeply and forcefully to ensure proper delivery of the medication to the lungs.
  • Duaklir Pressair is for maintenance treatment and is not a rescue inhaler for sudden breathing problems. Always carry a rescue inhaler (such as albuterol) for emergency use.
  • Rinse your mouth after using Duaklir Pressair to reduce the risk of oral infections, such as thrush.
  • Store the inhaler at room temperature and keep it dry.
