Comparison of Ipratropium / Levosalbutamol Fixed Dose Combination and Ipratropium and Levosalbutamol Free Dose Combination Nebuliser Solutions in Stable Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Patients

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the acute bronchodilator effect of the Ipratropium / Levosalbutamol 1.25 mg \& 0.5 mg / 2.5 mL fixed dose combination nebuliser solution or Levosalbutamol 1.25 mg / 3 mL nebuliser solution and Ipratropium 500 mcg nebuliser solution in stable moderate-severe-very severe COPD patients.


Eligibility Criteria:
Inclusion Criteria:

* Male or female patients aged 40 years and older who have been newly diagnosed or followed up with a diagnosis of COPD.
* Stable moderate-severe-very severe COPD patients with a post-bronchodilator FEV1/FVC ratio \<70% and a postbronchodilator FEV1 value \<80% at the screening visit will be included in the study.
* Symptom status such as chronic cough, sputum production, and progressive dyspnea with the BCSS (Breathlessness, Cough and Sputum Scale) Index will be evaluated, and the COPD staging of the patient with CAT (COPD Assessment Test) and the severity of dyspnea with mMRC (Modified Medical Research Council) will be determined.
* Patients with at least 10 pack/year smoking status or smoking history (patients who have quit smoking for at least 6 months or more are defined as ex-smokers).
