Since patients with COPD often have multiple risk factors for reduced BMD, assessment of BMD is recommended before initiating Trionid and periodically thereafter.
Pharmacology & Mechanism of Action
This is a combination of Budesonide, Glycopyrronium Bromide and Formoterol Fumarate Dihydrate. Budesonide is a corticosteroid that reduces the swelling and irritation in the lungs. Formoterol and Glycopyrronium are long-acting bronchodilators that act in different ways to relax muscles in the airways, helping to open the airways wider and allowing to breathe more easily to prevent symptoms, such as wheezing, cough, chest tightness, and shortness of breath.
