Oxima Inhalation Capsule 150 mcg contains Indacaterol Maleate, a long-acting β2-adrenergic agonist (LABA) used for the maintenance treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Indacaterol works by relaxing the smooth muscles of the airways, improving airflow, and providing prolonged bronchodilation. Oxima is designed for once-daily use with a dry powder inhaler, offering convenient, effective symptom control for patients with COPD, including chronic bronchitis and emphysema.
