Active ingredient

Aclidinium

Aclidinium is a competitive, selective muscarinic receptor antagonist (also known as an anticholinergic), with a longer residence time at the M3 receptors than the M2 receptors. M3 receptors mediate contraction of airway smooth muscle. Inhaled aclidinium acts locally in the lungs to antagonise M3 receptors of airway smooth muscle and induce bronchodilation.
