Recently, therapeutic options for treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has been significantly extended, mainly due to new double and triple drug combinations in a single inhaler. Double combinations for treatment of COPD include long-term acting beta-2-agonists (LABA)/long-term acting muscarinic antagonists (LAMA) and LABA/inhaled corticosteroids (ICS); a triple combination is a combination of LABA, LAMA and ICS in a single inhaler. A review of consensus statements, national guidelines and recently published data about use of triple therapy in COPD, efficacy and safety of a triple combination is given in the article.
