Roflumilast has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to treat flares of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) involving chronic bronchitis.

The lung disease leads to labored breathing, and is characterized by chronic cough and excessive phlegm. A flare may last for weeks and puts patients at increased risk of death, the FDA said. Cigarette smoking is the leading cause of COPD.

Roflumilast is marketed as Daliresp by St. Louis-based Forest Pharmaceuticals.

Roflumilast blocks an enzyme called phosphodiesterase type 4. Want some MORE?

Are you searching for a new exercise routine to get motivated again? There are hundreds upon hundreds of different workout routines and the goal is to find one that works for you. Again, I can never emphasize this enough: the exercise routine that works for your friend or spouse may not work for you. Every body is different. So, I recommend searching different styles of workouts until you find one that you enjoy and get the best results from.
