The World Health Organization's ATC classification organizes medical drugs based on therapeutic properties, chemical composition, and anatomy. It helps make essential medicines readily available globally and is widely used in the pharmaceutical industry.
| Level | Code | Title | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | R | Respiratory system | |
| 2 | R03 | Drugs for obstructive airway diseases | |
| 3 | R03A | Adrenergics, inhalants | |
| 4 | R03AL | Adrenergics in combination with anticholinergics | |
| 5 | R03AL05 | Formoterol and aclidinium bromide |
| Active Ingredient | Description | |

| Formoterol and Aclidinium bromide |
Aclidinium is a long-acting muscarinic antagonist (also known as an anticholinergic) and formoterol is a long-acting β2-adrenergic agonist. The combination of these substances with different mechanisms of action results in additive efficacy compared to that achieved with either component alone. Relaxation of both central and peripheral airways with combination treatment may contribute to the beneficial effects of aclidinium/formoterol combination on lung function. |
