Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

Two major diseases contribute to COPD: emphysema and chronic bronchitis. The chief symptoms are chronic cough, spitting or coughing up mucus (expectoration), breathlessness on exertion, and progressive reduction in the ability to breathe out fully. Cigarette smoking accounts for 82% of COPD deaths.

Novartis is seeking people to participate in a clinical trial(s) testing the safety and effectiveness of Novartis products. Novartis recommends that you consult your doctor before participating in a clinical trial.
