Oxima Inhalation Capsule 300 mcg contains Indacaterol Maleate, a long-acting β2-adrenergic agonist (LABA) designed for the maintenance treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Indacaterol provides sustained bronchodilation by relaxing airway smooth muscles, improving airflow, and relieving symptoms such as shortness of breath and wheezing. The 300 mcg dose offers enhanced bronchodilatory effects for patients with more severe COPD. Administered via a dry powder inhaler, Oxima ensures once-daily dosing for consistent symptom control.
