Dosage Forms and Strengths
Inhalation Powder. TUDORZA PRESSAIR is a breath-actuated multi-dose dry powder inhaler metering 400 mcg of aclidinium bromide per actuation. Each actuation delivers 375 mcg of aclidinium bromide from the mouthpiece.
TUDORZA™ PRESSAIR™ (aclidinium bromide inhalation powder) 400 mcg is supplied in a sealed labeled aluminum pouch and is available in 60 metered doses (NDC 0456-0800-60).

The PRESSAIR inhaler is a white and green colored device and is comprised of an assembled plastic dosing mechanism with a dose indicator, a drug-product storage unit containing the drug-product formulation, and a mouthpiece covered by a green protective cap. The inhaler should be discarded when the marking "0" with a red background shows in the middle of the dose indicator or when the device locks out, whichever comes first.
