How Difizma Capsule Works

Difizma is a combination of glycopyrronium, indacaterol, and mometasone. Glycopyrronium belongs to a class of medications called anticholinergics. It works by decreasing the secretions in the airways. Indacaterol works by relaxing and opening air passages in the lungs. Mometasone works by calming down the immune system. This, in turn, decreases the swelling in respiratory passages and lungs enabling easier breathing. It also stops symptoms such as wheezing and coughing.
