The primary use of Arformoterol is for the long-term maintenance treatment of bronchoconstriction in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), including chronic bronchitis and emphysema. Arformoterol belongs to the group of long-acting beta2-adrenergic receptor agonist (LABA) medications.

Arformoterol is a long-acting beta-agonist (LABA) used to manage chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma.
It works by relaxing the muscles around the airways, which helps to open them up and make breathing easier. It provides long-term control of symptoms and is usually taken via inhalation.

This medicine is meant for adult use only.
Arformoterol is contraindicated in patients with a history of hypersensitivity to Arformoterol, formoterol, or any components of the medication. It is also contraindicated in patients receiving concomitant treatment with other long-acting beta2-adrenergic receptor agonists (LABAs).
This medicine may interact with monoamine oxidase inhibitors (such as phenelzine and tranylcypromine), tricyclic antidepressants (like amitriptyline and clomipramine), and other medicines known to prolong the QTc interval (such as amiodarone and sotalol).
Beta-adrenergic receptor-blocking agents (including propranolol and metoprolol) should generally be avoided due to the risk of severe bronchospasm.
An overdose of Arformoterol may lead to exaggerated beta-adrenergic effects, such as tachycardia, hypertension, hypokalemia, hyperglycemia, and tremor. Treatment consists of discontinuing Arformoterol along with appropriate symptomatic and supportive therapy.
If you miss a dose of Arformoterol, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose.
Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless and resolve when discontinuing this medicine. However, if you experience any severe side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.
