Pharmacology
Stiolto Respimat combines tiotropium, a long-acting muscarinic antagonist that inhibits M3-receptors at airway smooth muscle to produce bronchodilation, and olodaterol, a LABA that activates beta2-adrenoceptors to stimulate cAMP synthesis and relax airway smooth muscle cells.
BEVESPI AEROSPHERE combines glycopyrrolate, a long-acting anticholinergic (LAMA) that inhibits M3 muscarinic receptors in airway smooth muscle to produce bronchodilation, with formoterol fumarate, a long-acting selective beta2-adrenoceptor agonist (LABA) that stimulates adenyl cyclase to increase cyclic AMP, relaxing bronchial smooth muscle and inhibiting mediator release from mast cells.
