Indibro 110mcg/50mcg Capsule is a dry-powder inhalation medicine containing Indacaterol 110mcg and Glycopyrronium 50mcg. It is used as a long-term maintenance bronchodilator for adults with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Indacaterol is a long-acting beta-2 agonist (LABA) that helps relax airway muscles, while Glycopyrronium is a long-acting muscarinic antagonist (LAMA) that reduces airway constriction. Together, they help improve airflow and make breathing easier in people with COPD.

Important: Indibro capsules are for inhalation through the supplied/compatible DPI device and must not be swallowed. Martin Dow's prescribing information specifies use with the Dowhaler device.
