Side Effects

The most commonly reported adverse effects were cough, nasopharyngitis, headache, nausea, oropharyngeal pain. Some other also reported of hypersensitivity reactions, paradoxical bronchospasm, tachycardia, pruritis and dizziness.

Precaution

Rarely, serious (sometimes fatal) breathing problems have happened to people with asthma using a long-acting inhaled beta agonist (salmeterol). Since Indacaterol is similar to salmeterol, it might cause these serious breathing problems. Indacaterol has not been shown to be safe or effective to treat asthma and is not approved for this use.

Interaction

Indacaterol shows interaction with Adrenergic Drugs, Xanthine Derivatives, Steroids, or Diuretics. Concomitant treatment with xanthine derivatives, steroids, or diuretics may potentiate any hypokalemic effect of Indacaterol. The ECG changes or hypokalemia that may result from the administration of non-potassium sparing diuretics (such as loop or thiazide diuretics) can be acutely worsened by β2-agonists. Indacaterol, as with other β2-agonists, should be administered with extreme caution to patients being treated with monoamine oxidase inhibitors, tricyclic antidepressants, or other drugs known to prolong the QTc interval. β-adrenergic receptor antagonists (beta-blockers) and Indacaterol may interfere with the effect of each other when administered concurrently.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding use

Pregnancy Category C. There are no adequate and well-controlled studies with Indacaterol powder in pregnant women. Indacaterol powder should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus. It is not known that the active component of Indacaterol powder, Indacaterol is excreted in human milk. Because many drugs are excreted in human milk and because Indacaterol has been detected in the milk of lactating rats, caution should be exercised when Indacaterol powder is administered to nursing women.

All LABA are contraindicated in patients with asthma without use of a long-term asthma control medication. Indacaterol powder is not indicated for the treatment of asthma. Indacaterol is contraindicated in patients with a history of hypersensitivity to Indacaterol or to any of the ingredients.
