BROVANA is a medicine called a long-acting beta2-agonist or LABA. BROVANA is used long term, twice a day (morning and evening), in controlling symptoms of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in adults with COPD. BROVANA is for inhalation use only through a standard jet nebulizer connected to an air compressor and should not be swallowed or injected. BROVANA should not be used in children.

BROVANA IMPORTANT PATIENT INFORMATION

In patients with asthma, LABA medicines such as BROVANA may increase the chance of asthma-related death from asthma problems. It is not known if LABA medicines, such as BROVANA, increase the chance of death in patients with COPD. BROVANA does not relieve sudden symptoms of COPD and should not be used more than twice a day. Always have a short-acting beta2-agonist with you to treat sudden symptoms. Get emergency medical care if breathing problems worsen quickly or you use you short-acting beta2-agonist medicine but it does not relieve your breathing problems. Do not stop using BROVANA unless told to do so by your healthcare provider because your symptoms might get worse. When you are using BROVANA twice a day, do not use other medicines that contain a LABA for any reason.


Tell your doctor if you have a heart condition or high blood pressure. Some people may experience increased blood pressure, heart rate or changes in heart rhythm. In COPD clinical trials, the most common adverse events reported with BROVANA were pain, chest pain, back pain, diarrhea, and sinusitis. Other possible side effects include headache, tremor, nervousness, and dizziness.
