Riltrava Aerosphere contains three active substances: formoterol fumarate dihydrate, glycopyrronium, and budesonide.

Formoterol fumarate dihydrate and glycopyrronium belong to a group of medicines called bronchodilators . They work in different ways to prevent tightening of the muscles around the airways, making it easier for air to get in and out of the lungs.

Budesonide belongs to a group of medicines called corticosteroids . These work by reducing inflammation in your lungs. Riltrava Aerosphere is an inhaler that is used for adults with a lung disease called chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (or COPD ), a long-term disease of the airways in the lungs. Riltrava Aerosphere is used to make breathing easier and improve symptoms of COPD such as shortness of breath, wheezing and cough. Riltrava Aerosphere can also prevent flare-ups (exacerbations) of COPD. Riltrava Aerosphere delivers the active substances into your lungs as you breathe in. If you use this medicine regularly twice a day, it will help to reduce the effects of COPD on your everyday life.
