            Warnings

            Contraindications

            Hypersensitivity

            Cautions

            Should not be initiated in patients with acutely deteriorating or potentially life-threatening episodes of COPD; also do not use for the relief of acute symptoms (ie, as rescue therapy) for treating acute episodes of bronchospasm

            Immediate hypersensitivity reactions have been reported after administration of indacaterol or glycopyrrolate; if signs suggesting allergic reactions occur, in particular, angioedema (including difficulties in breathing or swallowing, swelling of the tongue, lips, and face), urticaria, or skin rash, therapy should be discontinued immediately and alternative therapy instituted; use drug with caution in patients with severe hypersensitivity to milk proteins

            COPD may deteriorate acutely over a period of hours or chronically over several days or longer; if therapy no longer controls symptoms of bronchoconstriction; the patient’s inhaled, short-acting beta2 -agonist becomes less effective, or the patient needs more inhalation of a short-acting beta2 -agonist than usual, these may be markers of deterioration of disease; in this setting, a reevaluation of the patient and the COPD treatment regimen should be undertaken at once; increasing the daily dose beyond the recommended dose is not appropriate in this situation

            Can produce paradoxical bronchospasm that may be life-threatening; if paradoxical bronchospasm occurs following dosing with this drug, it should be treated immediately with an inhaled, short-acting bronchodilator; therapy should be discontinued immediately, and alternative therapy instituted

            Therapy should be used with caution in patients with narrow-angle glaucoma; prescribers and patients should be alert for signs and symptoms of acute narrow-angle glaucoma (eg, eye pain or discomfort, blurred vision, visual halos or colored images in association with red eyes from conjunctival congestion and corneal edema). Instruct patients to consult a physician immediately should any of these signs or symptoms develop

            Use with caution in patients with urinary retention; prescribers and patients should be alert for signs and symptoms of urinary retention (eg, difficulty passing urine, painful urination), especially in patients with prostatic hyperplasia or bladder-neck obstruction; instruct patients to consult a physician immediately should any of these signs or symptoms develop

            Drug interaction overview

            • Concomitant use with anticholinergic medications may cause additive anticholinergic effects; if possible, avoid coadministration

            Pregnancy

            Pregnancy

            There are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women; women should be advised to contact their physician if they become pregnant while receiving therapy

            Potential effect of therapy on labor and delivery unknown; drug should be used during labor and delivery only if potential benefit to patient justifies potential risk to fetus

            Animal data

            • In animal reproduction studies, there were no evidence of fetal harm or structural abnormalities in Wistar rats or New Zealand White rabbits at inhaled doses approximately 1,400 and 530 times, respectively, the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD of 31.2 mcg) on an area under the curve (AUC) basis

            Lactation

            There are no data on the presence of glycopyrrolate or its metabolites in human milk, effects on breastfed infant, or on milk production; however, in a study of lactating rats, glycopyrrolate was present in the milk

            The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother’s clinical need for therapy and any potential adverse effects on breastfed child from drug or from underlying maternal condition

            Pregnancy Categories

            A: Generally acceptable. Controlled studies in pregnant women show no evidence of fetal risk.

            B: May be acceptable. Either animal studies show no risk but human studies not available or animal studies showed minor risks and human studies done and showed no risk.

            C: Use with caution if benefits outweigh risks. Animal studies show risk and human studies not available or neither animal nor human studies done.

            D: Use in LIFE-THREATENING emergencies when no safer drug available. Positive evidence of human fetal risk.

            X: Do not use in pregnancy. Risks involved outweigh potential benefits. Safer alternatives exist.

            NA: Information not available.

            Pharmacology

            Mechanism of Action

            Long-acting muscarinic antagonist (LAMA); often referred to as an anticholinergic; produces bronchodilation by inhibiting acetylcholine’s effect on muscarinic receptors in the airway smooth muscle

            Absorption

            Absolute bioavailability: 40%

            Peak plasma time: 5 minutes

            Distribution

            Protein bound: 38-41%

            Vd: 83-376 L

            Metabolism

            Hydroxylated to a variety of mono-and bishydroxylated metabolites and direct hydrolysis results in the formation of a carboxylic acid derivative (M9)

            M9 is hydrolyzed by multiple CYP isoenzymes

            Elimination

            Half-life: 33-53 hr (glycopyrrolate inhaled)

            Excretion: 60-70% urine; 30-40% nonrenal (mostly by metabolism; also biliary)
