Daliresp<\/span><\/a> is the brand name for roflumilast, a unique treatment option for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). <\/span>COPD<\/span><\/a>, including both emphysema and chronic bronchitis forms, can impose a formidable disease burden on an individual. If you have COPD, symptoms of cough and shortness of breath can be pervasive. Exacerbations of the disease can lead to an increase in mucus production and breathing difficulty, at times necessitating oxygen supplementation and hospitalization.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Daliresp is not a bronchodilator and should not be used for the treatment of sudden breathing problems. If your exacerbations are occurring frequently despite other treatment options, Daliresp may be considered. Daliresp therapy only involves taking a 500 mcg tablet once daily, after taking a 250 mcg starting dose for four weeks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you are reluctant to start Daliresp or if you are already on Daliresp and curious about alternatives due to both common and serious side effects, read on to learn more about your options.<\/span><\/p>\n
