Deux médicaments sont compris dans la combinaison uméclidinium-vilantérol. On les utilise ensemble pour réduire les symptômes de la maladie pulmonaire obstructive chronique(MPOC), notamment de la bronchite chronique et de l'emphysème. L'uméclidinium est un antagoniste muscarinique à longue durée d’action(AMLA). Le vilantérol est un agoniste bêta-2 à longue durée d’action(ABLA). Ces médicaments agissent de façons différentes pour ouvrir les voies aériennes des poumons, ce qui facilite la respiration. 2, record 1, French, - vilant%C3%A9rol

Tiotropium is used to prevent wheezing, shortness of breath, coughing, and chest tightness in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD, a group of diseases that affect the lungs and airways) such as chronic bronchitis (swelling of the air passages that lead to the lungs) and emphysema (damage to air sacs in the lungs). Tiotropium is in a class of medications called bronchodilators. It works by relaxing and opening the air passages to the lungs to make breathing easier. 1, record 2, English, - tiotropium

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a debilitating lung disease usually caused by smoking. COPD, a combination of emphysema and chronic bronchitis, obstructs the airways, making breathing very difficult. It is the fourth leading cause of death in Canada and the only one growing in prevalence. It is estimated that one Canadian every hour dies from the disease. The objectives of World COPD Day are to raise awareness of COPD among at-risk populations, encourage them to be assessed by a healthcare professional, and place COPD on public health agendas worldwide. 2, record 4, English, - World%20COPD%20Day

La terminologie employée dans la littérature qui traite des maladies chroniques et obstructives du poumon et des voies aériennes est variée et peu prêter à confusion. [...] La bronchite chronique répond à une définition clinique : hypersécrétion de mucus suffisante pour entraîner une toux et une expectoration muqueuse et/ou mucopurulente [...] Un terme synonyme est bronchopathie chronique. Selon la présence ou l'absence d’un trouble ventilatoire obstructif(TVO) on distingue deux sous-groupes : la bronchite chronique simple [...] la bronchite chronique obstructive : elle répond à la présence d’un TVO détectable par la diminution du débit expiratoire(VEMS), en plus des caractéristiques de la bronchite chronique simple. 1, record 5, French, - bronchite%20chronique%20obstructive
