Roflumilast is a selective phosphodiesterase-4 (PDE4) inhibitor used to reduce inflammation in the lungs. It is prescribed to prevent worsening symptoms in people with severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Roflumilast works by inhibiting PDE4, which leads to an increase in cyclic AMP within cells, reducing inflammation in the lungs. This helps manage severe COPD symptoms but does not treat sudden breathing problems.

Common side effects include diarrhea, nausea, loss of appetite, headache, dizziness, back pain, and flu-like symptoms. Some people may also experience weight loss and sleep disturbances.

Roflumilast should not be taken by individuals with moderate or severe liver disease or those allergic to it. It is also not recommended for patients with a history of mental health conditions, including depression and suicidal thoughts.

Take Roflumilast once daily, with or without food, at the same time each day. Follow your doctor's instructions precisely and do not take more or less than prescribed. Regularly monitor your weight as weight loss is a common side effect.
