Uses

STRIVERDI RESPIMAT Inhalation Spray is a long-acting beta 2 -adrenergic agonist (LABA) indicated for: The long-term, once-daily maintenance bronchodilator treatment of airflow obstruction in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), including chronic bronchitis and/or emphysema. Important limitations: STRIVERDI RESPIMAT is NOT indicated to treat acute deterioration of COPD. STRIVERDI RESPIMAT is NOT indicated to treat asthma.

How it works

Olodaterol is a long-acting beta 2 -adrenergic agonist (LABA). The compound exerts its pharmacological effects by binding and activation of beta 2 -adrenoceptors after topical administration by inhalation. Activation of these receptors in the airways results in a stimulation of intracellular adenyl cyclase, an enzyme that mediates the synthesis of cyclic-3', 5' adenosine monophosphate (cAMP). Elevated levels of cAMP induce bronchodilation by relaxation of airway smooth muscle cells. In vitro studies have shown that olodaterol has 241-fold greater agonist activity at beta 2 -adrenoceptors compared to beta 1 -adrenoceptors and 2,299-fold greater agonist activity compared to beta 3 -adrenoceptors. The clinical significance of these findings is unknown.

Dosing overview

The recommended dosage of STRIVERDI RESPIMAT is two inhalations once-daily at the same time of the day. Do not use STRIVERDI RESPIMAT more than two inhalations every 24 hours. Prior to first use, the STRIVERDI RESPIMAT cartridge is inserted into the STRIVERDI RESPIMAT inhaler and the unit is primed. When using the unit for the first time, patients are to actuate the inhaler toward the ground until an aerosol cloud is visible and then repeat the process three more times. The unit is then considered primed and ready for use. If not used for more than 3 days, patients are to actuate the inhaler once to prepare the inhaler for use. If not used for more than 21 days, patients are to actuate the inhaler until an aerosol cloud is visible and then repeat the process three more times to prepare the inhaler for use.

Warnings and precautions

LABA as monotherapy (without an inhaled corticosteroid) for asthma increases the risk of serious asthma-related events. Do not initiate STRIVERDI RESPIMAT in acutely deteriorating COPD patients. Do not use for relief of acute symptoms. Concomitant short-acting beta 2 -agonists can be used as needed for acute relief. Do not exceed the recommended dosage. Excessive use of STRIVERDI RESPIMAT, or use in conjunction with other medications containing LABA can result in clinically significant cardiovascular effects and may be fatal. Life-threatening paradoxical bronchospasm can occur. Discontinue STRIVERDI RESPIMAT immediately. Use with caution in patients with cardiovascular or convulsive disorders, thyrotoxicosis or sensitivity to sympathomimetic drugs.

Interactions

Other adrenergic drugs may potentiate effect. Use with caution. Xanthine derivatives, steroids, diuretics or non-potassium sparing diuretics may potentiate hypokalemia or ECG changes. Use with caution. MAO inhibitors, tricyclic antidepressants, and drugs that prolong QTc interval may potentiate effect on cardiovascular system. Use with extreme caution. Beta-blockers may decrease effectiveness. Use with caution and only when medically necessary.
