Enerzair Breezhaler (Glycopyrronium / Indacaterol / Mometasone)

What is a Generic Drug?

A generic drug is a copy of the brand-name drug with the same dosage, safety, strength, quality, consumption method, performance, and intended use. Before generics become available on the market, the generic company must prove it has the same active ingredients as the brand-name drug and works in the same way and in the same amount of time in the body.

The only differences between generics and their brand-name counterparts is that generics are less expensive and may look slightly different (eg. different shape or color), as trademarks laws prevent a generic from looking exactly like the brand-name drug.

Generics are less expensive because generic manufacturers don't have to invest large sums of money to develop a drug. When the brand-name patent expires, generic companies can manufacture a copy of the brand-name and sell it at a substantial discount.

  • Product Details

    Description

    This combination product contains three medications: glycopyrronium, indacaterol, and mometasone. Glycopyrronium belongs to the group of medications called long-acting muscarinic antagonists (LAMA). Indacaterol belongs to the group of medications called long-acting bronchodilators. These medications work in different ways to relax the muscles in the walls of the small air passages in the lungs, keeping the air passages open and making it easier to breathe. Mometasone belongs to the group of medications called corticosteroids. It helps to control difficulty breathing by reducing the swelling in the airways of the lungs.
