Budesonide/Glycopyrrolate/Formoterol Fumarate is a combination of three medications used for COPD that work together to relax and open up the airways in your lungs so you can breathe more easily.

• Budesonide is an inhaled corticosteroid (IC). It lowers inflammation (swelling) in your lungs, which helps control COPD symptoms
• Glycopyrrolate is a long-acting muscarinic antagonist (LAMA). In your lungs, the medication blocks the activity of a natural chemical in your body called acetylcholine. This helps open up your airways, which helps you breathe easier
• Formoterol is a long-acting beta-2 agonist (LABA). It helps relax the muscles in your airways and make it easier to breathe

The typical dose of Budesonide/Glycopyrrolate/Formoterol Fumarate is 2 inhalations (or puffs) by mouth twice daily (taken as 2 puffs in the morning and 2 puffs in the evening).
