Open full text 11 citations

Abstract

Recently, therapeutic options for treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has been significantly extended, mainly due to new double and triple drug combinations in a single inhaler. Double combinations for treatment of COPD include long-term acting beta-2-agonists (LABA)/long-term acting muscarinic antagonists (LAMA) and LABA/inhaled corticosteroids (ICS); a triple combination is a combination of LABA, LAMA and ICS in a single inhaler. A review of consensus statements, national guidelines and recently published data about use of triple therapy in COPD, efficacy and safety of a triple combination is given in the article.
