cine, David Geffen School of Medicine at the University of California at Los Angeles and the lead clinical investigator, "For the patients in this study, adjunctive use of nebulized formoterol fumarate and tiotropium showed statistically significant improvements in lung function by improving bronchodilation over use of tiotropium alone. For physicians, Perforomist(TM) Inhalation Solution and commonly prescribed long-acting anticholinergics such as tiotropium offers a new and valuable treatment option for COPD patients with moderate to severe manifestations of the disease."

Christy Taylor, Chief Operating Officer at Dey, L.P., commented, "At DEY, we specialize in developing effective new treatments for serious and complex respiratory diseases, and it is gratifying that the newest addition to our franchise, Perforomist(TM) Inhalation Solution, offers physicians additional prescribing flexibility. For over a decade, Dey, L.P. has been the U.S. leader in sales of nebulized respiratory medication. We thank Dr. Tashkin and the other members of the research team for their assessment of how Perforomist(TM) Inhalation Solution may be used concomitantly with tiotropium for improved clinical effect for COPD patients."
