Roflumilast manages symptoms of ongoing lung diseases like COPD.
It’s used alongside other medications like bronchodilators.
Works by reducing airway irritation and swelling.
Regular usage is necessary for effectiveness; it doesn’t provide immediate relief for sudden breathing issues.
In case of sudden breathing problems, use a quick-relief inhaler as prescribed.
