Aclidinium is a long-acting muscarinic antagonist (LAMA) drug used to treat chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It is administered via inhalation and works by relaxing the airways to improve breathing. Aclidinium is a relatively new drug, having been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2012. It is one of several respiratory drugs used to treat COPD, along with bronchodilators, corticosteroids, and combination therapies. Aclidinium is a popular choice for COPD treatment due to its long-acting effects and low risk of side effects. It is also used to prevent COPD exacerbations, which can be life-threatening. Aclidinium is available in both brand-name and generic forms. Some companies in the Aclidinium market include AstraZeneca, which manufactures the brand-name drug, and several generic drug manufacturers such as Mylan, Teva Pharmaceuticals, and Sandoz.
