Aclidinium is a medication used for maintenance treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).[1] It may improve quality of life and prevent hospitalization; but does not affect the risk of death or the need for steroids.[2] It is unclear if it differs from tiotropium or other medications in the LAMA class.[2] It is used by a dry powder inhaler.[1]
Common side effects include headache, cough, and inflammation of the nose and throat.[1] Other side effects may include diarrhea, bronchospasm, and urinary retention.[3][1] It is a long-acting muscarinic antagonist (LAMA).[1]
Aclidinium was approved for medical use in the United States in 2012.[1] In the United Kingdom a month costs the NHS about 33 pounds.[3] In the United States this amount costs about 560 USD as of 2021.[4] It is also available together with formoterol.[3]
