Roflumilast with long-acting b2-agonists for COPD: influence of exacerbation history
The oral, selective phosphodiesterase type-4 inhibitor roflumilast reduces exacerbations and improves lung function in patients with severe-to-very severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). We investigated the efficacy and safety of roflumilast used concomitantly with long-acting b2-
agonists (LABAs) to reduce exacerbations, and the influence of exacerbation history. Pooled data were analysed from two 12-month, placebo-controlled roflumilast (500 mg once daily) studies involving 3,091 patients with severe-to-very severe COPD
