| Description: | Severe COPD entails an inflammation of the lungs caused by an enzyme called phosphodiesterase 4. Treatments of COPD are targeted to inhibit this enzyme. The best available on the marked is Daxas which is a new oral therapy which should be taken once a day by patients. This treatment reduces the risk of exacerbations and improves the patient’s general lung function. The inhibitor and active ingredient of Daxas is called roflumilast. This inhibitor reduces the inflammation of the lungs like no other available COPD drug is capable of, benefitting patients with severe COPD greatly. Research has shown that lung function improves within 4-8 weeks after starting the Daxas treatment with the benefits sustaining for a 12 month period. Therefore, patients should be patient as the drug does not give immediate relief. One of the very unfortunate elements about this disease is the fact that it is not curable; however, it is preventable. It affects mostly people above 40 years of age. The incidents of people being diagnosed with COPD continue to rise despite a general decline in smoking. However, the disease is still rather under-diagnosed and many people are unaware that they have it despite its life threatening nature. They may interpret the symptoms as symptoms of getting older such as coughing and breathlessness when in fact they are not. |
