The two types of maintenance inhalers are: Long-acting muscarinic antagonists (LAMA) Long-acting beta agonists (LABA) LAMA inhalers are recommended first-line as a maintenance inhaler for COPD. However, if a LAMA inhaler by itself is not enough to control breathlessness or flare-ups, a combination inhaler with both a LAMA and LABA can be
LAMA/LABA showed the greatest improvement in trough FEV 1 at weeks compared with the other inhaled drug classes, while SAMA showed the least improvement. There were no significant differences among the LAMAs and LAMA/LABAs within their respective classes.
antagonist (LAMA)/long-acting beta2-agonist (LABA)/inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) versus LAMA/LABA in patients with symptomatic COPD.
LAMA are an effective treatment option for people with COPD. These drugs block the bronchoconstriction effect of acetylcholine.
LAMA/LABA showed the greatest improvement in trough FEV sub 1 /sub at weeks compared with the other inhaled drug classes, while SAMA showed the least improvement. There were no significant differences among the LAMAs and LAMA/LABAs within their respective classes.
A person takes LAMA using a bronchodilator inhaler. TIO, UMEC, and GLY are LAMA medications that people take once a day. ACL is a LAMA medication that people take twice a day. COPD;
The LABA/LAMA combination is likely the best treatment in preventing COPD flare-ups. LAMA-containing inhalers appear to have an advantage over those without LAMA for preventing flare-ups. Combination inhalers (LABA/LAMA and LABA/ICS), appear more effective for controlling symptoms than single-agent therapies (LAMA and LABA).

LAMA drugs are a treatment option for people with COPD. This article will examine what LAMA are, how they work for COPD, and common LAMA medications. LABA relax the airways smooth muscle to
