COPD: Journal of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, 10/06/09
Cazzola M et al. – Formoterol has a fast onset and a bronchodilator effect of approximately 12 h, while tiotropium has a 24–h bronchodilator effect and is given once daily. Currently, there is no documentation that tiotropium is superior to formoterol or the contrary, but a combination of tiotropium and formoterol is more effective than single drugs alone in inducing bronchodilation and a bronchodilator–mediated symptom benefit in patients suffering from COPD. Once–daily or twice–daily formoterol, added to tiotropium, are both better than tiotropium alone, but the published evidence suggests twice–daily formoterol is the best add–on option.
