I have just been reading an article on a new drug being trialed in China for COPD Esifentrine . It sounds very optimistic for future generations.

I hope so! Does it say what it would do to help?

[katieoxo60 in reply to _9carole]

The link jackdup sent explains it quite simply it seems like it is mean't to improve lung capacity and breathing. . Not a cure of course just something that might help some. I have poor lung capacity so it might help me. A ray of hope none the less.

[_9carole in reply to katieoxo60]

Yes of course! Hope it helps many people .

It would be a wonderful thing but I'm afraid I would want to see a lot more evidence of what it does.

Looks as if we shall see it in use verty soon

Ensifentrine combines bronchodilator and anti-inflammatory properties in one compound and has the potential to be an effective treatment for COPD and other respiratory diseases, including asthma and cystic fibrosis. Ensifentrine has been well tolerated in clinical trials involving more than 2,200 subjects.

Hopefully it will make treatment of respiratory disease better in the not too distant future and who knows maybe better than current treatment options. Fingers crossed
