COPD: Inhalers-long acting beta agonist +/-steroid (advair, symbicort-most common combination inhalers approved for copd), anticholinergic (spiriva and tudorza), oral steroids, oral meds such as theophylline and daliresp, and oxygen to name the most common. One other combination inhaler called Dulera (formoterol and mometasone) had been approved for treatment in asthma but can also be used in patients with COPD with bronchospasm.
