Indications

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Bronchitis

Caterol is used to treat airflow obstruction in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), which includes chronic bronchitis and/or emphysema.

⚠️ Always consult a registered physician before taking any medicine.

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.
