Hi,
Incruse is composed of 'Umeclidinium', which is an anticholinergic medication, used to control and prevent symptoms such as wheezing, shortness of breath caused by ongoing lung disease like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
It works by relaxing the muscles around the airways so that they open up and can breathe more easily.
Side effects with its use which would need attention include difficult/painful urination, eye pain/swelling, vision changes, allergic reaction, severe dizziness, trouble breathing.
Since you are experiencing symptoms related to breathing despite good saturation, it would be better to consult your doctor for clinical evaluation and appropriate management.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ashakiran S,
General & Family Physician
