Why is Arcapta Neohaler prescribed?

Arcapta Neohaler (Indacaterol) Inhalation Powder is a selective beta2-adrenergic agonist used for the long-term, once-daily maintenance treatment of airflow obstruction in individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), which may include chronic bronchitis and/or emphysema. It is not intended for asthma treatment and may raise the risk of asthma-related death.

What does it do?

Arcapta Neohaler (Indacaterol) is a long-acting bronchodilator that works by opening the bronchial tubes (air passages) in the lungs. These medications are inhaled through the mouth to help alleviate symptoms such as cough, wheezing, shortness of breath, and difficulty breathing, by improving airflow through the airways.

How should I take it?

Do not swallow an Arcapta Neohaler capsule. It is designed for use only with the Neohaler device.

This medication comes with a special inhaler and blister pack containing powder-filled capsules. Each time you use the medicine, load one capsule into the inhaler device. Pressing the buttons on the sides of the Neohaler will pierce the capsule and release the powdered medication into the inhaler chamber.

After using the inhaler, you may experience a mild cough for about 15 seconds.

What if I missed a dose?

If you miss a dose of this medication, take it as soon as you remember. However, if your next dose is almost due, skip the missed dose and resume your regular dosing schedule. Do not take two doses at once. Do not use this medication more than once in a 24-hour period.

What are the special precautions before taking Arcapta Neohaler?

You should not use Arcapta Neohaler if you are allergic to indacaterol. This medication is intended only for individuals with COPD and should not be used to treat asthma.

To ensure Arcapta is safe for you, inform your doctor if you have ever had:

• Diabetes
• Heart disease or high blood pressure
• Seizures
• Thyroid problems
• Severe lactose intolerance issues

Indacaterol may increase the risk of death in individuals with asthma, but the risk for those with COPD is unknown. Always use only the prescribed dose and do not exceed the duration recommended by your doctor. Follow all instructions for safe use.

Arcapta Neohaler is for treating COPD only and should not be used for asthma and not approved for anyone under 18 years of age.

Do not attempt to wash or disassemble the Neohaler device. You can wipe the mouthpiece with a tissue after each use. Dispose of the device once your capsules are finished and always use the inhaler that comes with each new prescription.

What action should I take in case of overdose?

Seek immediate medical attention or go to the nearest emergency department. An overdose of indacaterol can be life-threatening.

Signs of an overdose may include muscle cramps, tremors, chest pain, rapid heart rate, weak pulse, fainting, or slow breathing (which may lead to breathing stopping).

Is it safe for pregnant or breastfeeding women?

There are no sufficient studies on the use of Arcapta Neohaler in pregnant women. It should only be used during pregnancy if the potential benefits outweigh the risks to the fetus. It is unknown whether indacaterol, the active ingredient in Arcapta Neohaler, is present in human breast milk. Caution is advised when administering Arcapta Neohaler to nursing women.
