Call for COPD patients

July 29, 2011

GLAXOSMITHKLINE is calling for 80 Aussies who suffer from chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder, to participate in a worldwide study. The research is being conducted simultaneously in 40 locations around the globe, and will investigate the effectiveness of a potential new treatment for COPD that delivers two bronchodilator (airway-opening) medicines in a single inhaler once daily. At present international and Australian COPD treatment guidelines suggest the use of multiple bronchodilators daily as required to help breathless patients. Participants will be asked to cease using their current medications and will be provided with study medication free of charge for up to six months. For info call 1800 800 285.
