| Mechanism Of Action | Aclidinium is a long-acting, competitive, and reversible anticholinergic drug that is specific for the acetylcholine muscarinic receptors. It binds to all 5 muscarinic receptor subtypes to a similar affinity. Aclidinium’s effects on the airways are mediated through the M3 receptor at the smooth muscle to cause bronchodilation. Prevention of acetylcholine-induced bronchoconstriction effects was dose-dependent and lasted longer than 24 hours. |
| Description of the Drug: | Aclidinium is an inhaled long-acting anticholinergic used as a maintenance bronchodilator in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) . |
