Bretaris® Genuair®

Bretaris® Genuair® (aclidinium bromide) is a long-acting muscarinic receptor antagonist (LAMA) indicated as a continuous bronchodilator therapy for symptom relief in adults with COPD.

Inhaled twice daily via a prefilled, ready-to-use inhaler (Genuair®) with audible and visual feedback mechanisms. In addition to the patient-friendly inhaler, Bretaris® Genuair® is particularly characterized by an improvement in daytime and nighttime symptoms1,2,3 in COPD. No dose adjustment is required in renal impairment and elderly patients.1

Bretaris® Genuair® also shows sustained efficacy and good tolerability over a longer treatment period (52 weeks).4

Brimica® Genuair®

Brimica® Genuair® is a fixed combination of the long-acting muscarinic receptor antagonist aclidinium bromide with formoterol fumarate, an established long-acting beta-2 agonist, approved as twice-daily bronchodilator maintenance therapy for symptom relief in adults with COPD.5 

Comparative studies with other bronchodilators6,7 show a clear advantage of twice-daily inhalation over once-daily administration. The LAMA/LABA fixed combination of aclidinium and formoterol offers patients not only a plus in lung function, but also a significant improvement in symptoms.6,8 The active ingredients are administered using the prefilled Genuair® inhaler.5

The Genuair® inhaler has two feedback mechanisms that provide patients with confirmation that they have successfully inhaled their medication:

  • Audible click after successful inhalation
  • Color change from green to red in the control window

A locking mechanism after the last inhalation prevents the patient from inhaling from an empty Genuair®.
