Ensifentrine is the name of the active ingredient in OHTUVAYRE, a maintenance treatment for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in adult patients.

What is COPD?

COPD stands for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. It’s a lung condition characterized by respiratory symptoms—like shortness of breath—due to abnormalities in the airways and air sacs in the lungs.

Is COPD curable?

While COPD is not curable, it is treatable. For people living with COPD, maintenance therapies like OHTUVAYRE may help improve the symptoms of COPD for better breathing.

What causes COPD?

COPD results from genetic and environmental interactions over your lifetime. Some of the most common exposures that may lead to COPD are tobacco smoking and the inhalation of household or outdoor air pollution.

How is COPD diagnosed?

A COPD diagnosis is based on spirometry, which is a breathing test that measures how much air an individual can inhale and exhale. However, a diagnosis should be considered for any individual that exhibits symptoms of COPD such as shortness of breath, long-term cough, mucus production, frequent lung infections, and/or a history of exposure to factors that can cause lung damage.
