Roflumilast, sold under the brand name Daxas among others, is a medication that acts as a selective, long-acting inhibitor of the enzyme phosphodiesterase-4 (PDE-4). It has anti-inflammatory effects and is used as an orally administered drug for the treatment of inflammatory conditions of the lungs such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).[7][8][9][10]

In June 2010, it was approved in the European Union for severe COPD associated with chronic bronchitis.[4][11] In February 2011, it gained FDA approval in the United States for reducing COPD exacerbations.[12][13] It is available as a generic medication.[14]

Medical uses

Roflumilast is indicated for the treatment of severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)[2] and for the treatment of plaque psoriasis.[3][15]

It is used in the prevention of exacerbations (lung attacks) in severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).[1][2][4][5][6]

Adverse effects

Common (1–10% incidence) adverse effects include diarrhea, weight loss, nausea, headache, insomnia, decreased appetite, abdominal pain, rhinitis, sinusitis, urinary tract infection, and depression.[2][1][5][6][16]
