Oxima Plus Inhalation Capsule 110 mcg + 50 mcg combines Indacaterol, a long-acting β2-adrenergic agonist (LABA), with Glycopyrronium, a long-acting muscarinic antagonist (LAMA), for the maintenance treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This dual bronchodilator therapy provides complementary mechanisms of action: Indacaterol relaxes airway smooth muscles, while Glycopyrronium inhibits bronchoconstriction mediated by acetylcholine. Oxima Plus delivers effective, once-daily bronchodilation, improving lung function, reducing symptoms, and enhancing quality of life in COPD patients.

Indications
Oxima Plus Inhalation Capsule is indicated for:
-
Long-term maintenance treatment of moderate to severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
-
Relief of airflow obstruction, breathlessness, and wheezing
-
Improvement of lung function, exercise tolerance, and overall quality of life
-
Not for relief of acute bronchospasm or sudden COPD exacerbations
Mechanism of Action
Oxima Plus combines two active ingredients for synergistic bronchodilation:
-
Indacaterol (110 mcg): Selectively stimulates β2-adrenergic receptors in airway smooth muscles, causing relaxation and sustained bronchodilation for up to 24 hours.
-
Glycopyrronium (50 mcg): Blocks muscarinic M3 receptors in bronchial smooth muscle, preventing acetylcholine-induced bronchoconstriction.
Together, this combination provides enhanced airway dilation, reduces COPD symptoms, and improves respiratory function more effectively than monotherapy.
