Procaterol is a type of respiratory drug used to treat asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It is a long-acting beta-2 agonist (LABA) that works by relaxing the muscles of the airways, allowing more air to flow in and out of the lungs. It is usually taken in combination with an inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) to reduce inflammation in the airways. Procaterol is available in both oral and inhaled forms, and is usually taken twice a day. Procaterol is a relatively new drug, but it has become increasingly popular in recent years due to its effectiveness in treating asthma and COPD. It is generally well-tolerated and has fewer side effects than other LABAs. It is also more cost-effective than other drugs in the same class. Some of the companies that produce procaterol include GlaxoSmithKline, Merck, Novartis, and Teva Pharmaceuticals. Show Less Read more
