What is the difference between Lonhala Magnair and Seebri Neohaler?
Both Lonhala Magnair and Seebri Neohaler have been discontinued in the U.S., and a generic option is not available. Both products contained glycopyrrolate, a bronchodilator.
The primary difference between Lonhala Magnair and Seebri Neohaler was the dosage form and how they were administered to the patient.
- Lonhala Magnair was delivered as a nebulized solution for inhalation via the Magnair nebulizer.
- The Seebri Neohaler consisted of dry-powder inhalation capsules placed into a hand-held device and inhaled.
Both products were used twice daily (in the morning and evening) at the same time every day. These products contained glycopyrrolate, an anticholinergic, long-acting muscarinic antagonist (LAMA) bronchodilator for the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) of the lung, including chronic bronchitis and/or emphysema.
Bronchodilators open and relax the airway passages in the lungs to improve breathing. This can help to prevent symptoms such as wheezing, coughing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath.

The Seebri Neohaler consisted of capsules that contained 15.6 mcg of glycopyrrolate and the hand-held inhalation device. The capsules are used in the device and not taken by mouth. They are inhaled twice daily (in the morning and evening), at the same time every day.
