Sequadra Inhaler

What Is Sequadra Inhaler?

How Does Sequadra Inhaler Work?

• Indacaterol (LABA) — Beta-2 Receptor Stimulation: Indacaterol binds to beta-2 adrenergic receptors on bronchial smooth muscle cells. This stimulates adenylate cyclase, increasing intracellular cyclic AMP (cAMP), which triggers smooth muscle relaxation and bronchial widening. Onset is within 5 minutes, with a full 24-hour bronchodilation sustained from a single dose.
• Glycopyrronium (LAMA) — Muscarinic Receptor Blockade: Glycopyrronium blocks M3 muscarinic receptors in airway smooth muscle. Normally, acetylcholine binding to M3 receptors causes bronchoconstriction and excessive mucus secretion. By blocking this, Glycopyrronium reduces airway tone, prevents constriction, and decreases secretions — keeping airways open around the clock.
• Dual Action = Complementary Bronchodilation: Because both drugs target entirely different receptor pathways, their combination produces greater bronchodilation than either agent alone — with clinical trials demonstrating statistically significant improvements in lung function (FEV1) at just 2 hours post-dose at Week 26, and sustained effect throughout the 24-hour dosing interval.

Sequadra Inhaler Dosage & How to Use It Correctly

Recommended Dosage

Step-by-Step Inhalation Technique

• Open the Breezhaler® device by lifting the mouthpiece cap vertically.
• Remove one Sequadra capsule from the blister pack — only immediately before use. Never store a capsule outside the blister.
• Place the capsule in the capsule chamber of the device. Do not put capsules directly in the mouthpiece.
• Close the device until you hear a click. Pierce the capsule by pressing both side buttons simultaneously once — then release.
• Exhale fully away from the device, then place the mouthpiece in your mouth and inhale steadily and deeply.
• Hold your breath for at least 5–10 seconds, then breathe out slowly.
• Check the capsule is empty. If residual powder remains, repeat the inhalation step.
• Rinse your mouth with water and spit — do not swallow. Discard the empty capsule.
• Discard the entire inhaler device after 30 days of use, even if capsules remain.

Important Usage Rules

• Never swallow the capsules — they are for inhalation only
• Do not use Sequadra as a rescue inhaler for sudden breathlessness or acute attacks
• Take at the same time each day to maintain consistent bronchodilation levels
• If a dose is missed, take it as soon as you remember unless the next dose is within 12 hours

Who Is Sequadra Inhaler Prescribed For?

• Have a confirmed diagnosis of COPD — including chronic bronchitis, emphysema, or a combination of both
• Require maintenance bronchodilator therapy beyond a single LABA or LAMA agent
• Have not achieved adequate symptom control with monotherapy (single long-acting bronchodilator)
• Experience persistent breathlessness, reduced exercise tolerance, or frequent exacerbations
• Are seeking a convenient once-daily regimen to replace twice-daily combination therapies

Side Effects of Sequadra Inhaler

Common Side Effects (Generally Mild)

• Nasopharyngitis (upper respiratory tract infection symptoms) — the most frequently reported
• Headache
• Sinusitis or nasal congestion
• Dry mouth — can be managed by staying well-hydrated and chewing sugar-free gum
• Mild dizziness
• Cough shortly after inhalation — usually transient

Less Common / Serious Side Effects — Consult Your Doctor

• Paradoxical bronchospasm — wheezing or tightness immediately after inhalation; discontinue and use rescue inhaler
• Urinary retention — more common in patients with pre-existing prostatic conditions
• Narrow-angle glaucoma worsening — avoid letting medication contact the eyes
• Tachycardia (fast or irregular heartbeat)
• Hypokalaemia (low potassium) — particularly with high doses or combination with other medications
• Severe hypersensitivity reactions — including rash, angioedema (rare)

Precautions & Contraindications

• Are allergic to indacaterol, glycopyrronium, or any component of the formulation (including lactose/milk proteins)
• Have asthma as a primary diagnosis without COPD — Sequadra is not approved as a sole asthma treatment
• Are pregnant, planning to conceive, or breastfeeding — consult your physician
• Are under 18 years of age
