Umeclidinium bromide is a long-acting muscarinic acetylcholine
antagonist developed by GlaxoSmithKline and approved
by the US FDA at the end of 2013 for use in combination with
vilanterol, a b2 agonist, for the treatment of chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease. Due to umeclidinium’s poor oral bioavailability,
the drug is administrated by inhalation as dry powder.
