Alveotio 9 Inhaler belongs to the group of anti-asthmatic medicines called bronchodilators used to treat asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). Alveotio 9 Inhaler works by blocking the receptors for acetylcholine which are released in the cholinergic nerve endings in the airways. Alveotio 9 Inhaler relaxes and widens the airway's openings, making it easier for the air to get in and out of the lungs. Thereby helps in treating asthma and COPD. Regular use of Alveotio 9 Inhaler can help with ongoing shortness of breath related to diseases like asthma. Daily use of Alveotio 9 Inhaler can also help prevent sudden, short-term worsening of COPD symptoms that might last for several days. Alveotio 9 Inhaler is also used as an adjunct to other medicines to treat asthma.
