YUPELRI

Pronunciation: rev-e-FEN-a-sin (yoo-PEL-ree)

What it isLong-acting muscarinic antagonist delivered by nebulizer; COPD maintenance.

Why this oneNebulized delivery avoids the inspiratory-flow and hand-breath coordination demands of handheld LAMAs.

What limits itAnticholinergic effects and acute urinary retention can occur; it is maintenance therapy, never rescue.
