Dosage Reference
Reference Information Only
Dosages shown are general references from official sources. Always consult your doctor or pharmacist for personalized dosing.

Take it by the orally inhaled route only, every day at the same time. If you miss a dose, take the next one as soon as you remember it. Don't use Indacaterol more than one time in 24 hours.
No dosage adjustment is needed for elderly patients, for patients with mild or moderate hepatic impairment, or for patients with renal impairment.

Cautions & Contraindications
Warnings & Precautions
Serious breathing problems, and some of them fatal, have rarely been seen in people with asthma who used salmeterol, a long-acting inhaled beta agonist. Caterol is similar to salmeterol, so it might cause the same problems. Caterol has not been shown to be safe or effective for treating asthma, and it is not approved for that use.
Contraindications
Indacaterol is a long-acting beta-agonist (LABA), and all LABA are contraindicated in patients with asthma who are not using a long-term asthma control medicine. Indacaterol powder is not indicated for the treatment of asthma. It is also contraindicated in anyone with a history of hypersensitivity to indacaterol or to any of its ingredients.
Pregnancy & Breastfeeding
Indacaterol powder is Pregnancy Category C. There are no adequate and well-controlled studies of Indacaterol powder in pregnant women, so it should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus.
It is not known whether Indacaterol, the active component of the powder, is excreted in human milk. Many drugs pass into human milk, and Indacaterol has been detected in the milk of lactating rats. For this reason, caution should be exercised when Indacaterol powder is given to nursing women.
⚠️ Talk to your doctor before taking any medicine during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
Overdose
Taking too much Indacaterol Maleate powder is expected to cause the signs of excessive beta-adrenergic stimulation. Any of the usual signs and symptoms may appear or become worse, such as angina, hypertension or hypotension, and tachycardia with heart rates up to 200 bpm. Other possible effects are arrhythmias, nervousness, headache, tremor, dry mouth, palpitation, muscle cramps, nausea, dizziness, fatigue, malaise, hypokalemia, hyperglycemia, metabolic acidosis and insomnia.
As with all inhaled sympathomimetic medicines, an overdose of Indacaterol Maleate powder may be linked with cardiac arrest and even death.
