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.
Aclidinium bromide is a long-acting antimuscarinic (anticholinergic) agent that inhibits M3 muscarinic receptors on airway smooth muscle, causing bronchodilation; the bronchodilatory effect is predominantly site-specific following inhalation.
