Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, maintenance:
Note: Use long-acting bronchodilator combination therapy (long-acting beta agonist and long-acting muscarinic antagonist) in patients with more symptoms (eg, Group B). In addition, a short-acting bronchodilator is used for intermittent symptom relief (Ref).

Dosage adjustment for concomitant therapy: Significant drug interactions exist, requiring dose/frequency adjustment or avoidance. Consult drug interactions database for more information.
No dosage adjustment necessary.
No dosage adjustment necessary; use caution in severe impairment (an increase in formoterol exposure is likely).
Refer to adult dosing.
The following adverse drug reactions and incidences are derived from product labeling unless otherwise specified. Also see individual agents.
1% to 10%:
Central nervous system: Headache (6%), dizziness (1% to <3%), insomnia (1% to <3%)
Gastrointestinal: Xerostomia (1% to <3%)
Genitourinary: Urinary tract infection (1% to <3%)
Infection: Influenza (1% to <3%), tooth abscess (1% to <3%)
Neuromuscular & skeletal: Back pain (4%), arthralgia (1% to <3%), increased creatine phosphokinase in blood specimen (1% to <3%), limb pain (1% to <3%), muscle spasm (1% to <3%), musculoskeletal pain (1% to <3%)
Respiratory: Upper respiratory tract infection (9%), cough (1% to <3%), oropharyngeal pain (1% to <3%), sinusitis (1% to <3%)
Postmarketing: Anaphylaxis, angioedema, bronchospasm, hypersensitivity reaction, pruritus, skin rash, urticaria
Hypersensitivity to aclidinium, formoterol, or any component of the formulation; severe hypersensitivity to milk proteins; use in patients with asthma without an inhaled corticosteroid.
Concerns related to adverse effects:
• Asthma-related deaths: Use of long-acting beta-2 agonists (LABAs) as monotherapy (without inhaled corticosteroids) has been associated with an increased risk of asthma-related death, asthma-related hospitalizations in pediatric and adolescent patients, and an increased risk of severe exacerbations (Nelson 2006; Walters 2007). Data from large, randomized, double-blind controlled trials do not show a significant increase in risk of serious asthma-related events (including hospitalizations, intubations, and death) in adults, adolescents, and pediatric patients when fixed-dose LABAs are used with inhaled corticosteroids combined in a single inhaler compared with inhaled corticosteroid monotherapy (FDA 2017). Current asthma guidelines recommend the use of an as-needed low dose inhaled corticosteroid with formoterol as the preferred reliever agent (GINA 2023).
• Bronchospasm: Rarely, paradoxical bronchospasm may occur with use of inhaled bronchodilating agents; this should be distinguished from inadequate response. If paradoxical bronchospasm occurs, discontinue use and institute alternative therapy.
• CNS effects: May cause headache, dizziness, and/or blurred vision; caution patients about performing tasks which require mental alertness (eg, operating machinery, driving).
• Hypersensitivity reactions: Immediate hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, angioedema, urticaria, rash, bronchospasm, or itching, may occur; discontinue immediately if signs/symptoms of a hypersensitivity reaction occur.
• Serious effects/fatalities: Do not exceed recommended dose or use with other medications containing LABAs; serious adverse events, including fatalities, have been associated with excessive use of inhaled sympathomimetics.
Disease-related concerns:
• Cardiovascular disease: Use with caution in patients with cardiovascular disease (eg, arrhythmia, coronary insufficiency, hypertension); beta agonists may cause elevation in blood pressure and heart rate. Beta-2 agonists may also produce changes in the ECG (eg, T-wave flattening, QTc prolongation, ST-segment depression).
• Diabetes: Use with caution in patients with diabetes mellitus; beta-2 agonists may increase serum glucose and aggravate preexisting diabetes mellitus and ketoacidosis.
• Hyperthyroidism: Use with caution in hyperthyroidism; may stimulate thyroid activity.
• Hypokalemia: Use with caution in patients with hypokalemia; beta-2 agonists may decrease serum potassium (usually transient).
• Ocular disease: Use with caution in patients with cataracts and/or glaucoma; increased intraocular pressure, open-angle glaucoma, and cataracts have occurred with prolonged use of inhaled corticosteroids. Consider routine eye exams in chronic users.
• Seizures: Use with caution in patients with seizure disorders; beta-agonists may result in CNS stimulation/excitation.
• Urinary retention: Use with caution in patients with urinary retention. Monitor for signs and symptoms of urinary retention, especially in patients with prostatic hyperplasia or bladder-neck obstruction.
Dosage form specific issues:
• Lactose: May contain lactose; use is contraindicated in patients with severe milk protein allergy.
Other warnings/precautions:
• Appropriate use: Not indicated for the initial (rescue) treatment of acute episodes of bronchospasm or with acutely deteriorating or potentially life-threatening COPD; after initiation of therapy, patients should use short-acting bronchodilators only on an as-needed basis for acute symptoms.

Oral inhalation: Dry powder inhaler: Inhaler is breath actuated; administer via oral inhalation once in the morning and evening. Remove inhaler from sealed bag immediately prior to first use. To load dose, remove protective cap and press the orange button all the way down (avoid tilting inhaler). If the control window is green, the inhaler is ready for use; if the control window is red, reactivate inhaler again by pressing and releasing the orange button. Prior to inhaling the dose, exhale fully (do not exhale into the inhaler), then close lips tightly around the inhaler mouthpiece and inhale (rapidly, steadily, and deeply); do not hold the orange button down while inhaling. Keep breathing in even after a "click" is heard to ensure that the full dose has been given. Ensure the dose was delivered correctly by observing the control window change from green to red; if the control window is still green, repeat inhalation steps. When control window has been verified as red, replace the protective cap until next use. Do not wash or put inhaler in water; mouth piece may be cleaned with a dry tissue or cloth. Discard the inhaler when the dose counter displays "0" or within 60 days after removal from sealed bag (whichever occurs first). Refer to product labeling for additional administration instructions.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, maintenance: Maintenance treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
Limitations of use: Not indicated for relief of acute bronchospasm or for treatment of asthma.
