Figure Lengend Snippet: The principles of diagnostics and phenotype-specific therapy of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Of note, the current indication for the use of different fixed combinations of inhaled glucocorticoid ICS and long-acting β 2 -agonist (LABA) in COPD is frequent exacerbations despite the use of appropriate bronchodilator therapy, but the FEV 1 ranges from <50% predicted (budesonide–formoterol, beclomethasone dipropionate–formoterol) to <60% predicted (fluticasone propionate–salmeterol) and to <70% predicted (fluticasone furoate–vilanterol).

Figure Lengend Snippet: The principles of combining drugs used to treat chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The general rule of drug therapy of COPD is that two drugs belonging to the same group or having similar mechanism of action should not be combined. The exception to this rule is the simultaneous use of short- and long-acting β 2 -agonists that is allowed and often is meaningful
