About Nebzmart-GF Combipack Smartule ( 5 x 1 ml )

Nebzmart-GF Combipack Smartule ( 5 x 1 ml ) belongs to the group of medicines called bronchodilators indicated for long-term, maintenance treatment of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). COPD is a group of lung diseases with emphysema (shortness of breath) and chronic bronchitis (inflammation of the bronchial tube lining). 
 
Nebzmart-GF Combipack Smartule ( 5 x 1 ml ) is a combination of two medicines, namely: Arformoterol (long-acting beta2-adrenergic agonist) and Glycopyrronium (anti-cholinergic). Arformoterol prevents tightening of the muscles in the airways, making it easier for the air to get in and out of the lungs. Glycopyrronium decreases the secretions in the airways. Together, Nebzmart-GF Combipack Smartule ( 5 x 1 ml ) provides relief from COPD.
