The following is a clinical case of a dermatological disease with
systemic repercussions that should
be taken into account in the Primary Care consultation.
This is a 55-year-old woman with a medical history of high blood pressure and COPD.
She had no allergies, smoked 10 cigarettes a day, and had been on regular
treatment with enalapril for the past 6 years and inhaled formoterol for the past 2 years.
Due to a worsening of her lung disease,
the pulmonologist decided to reinforce
her inhalation treatment by discontinuing formoterol
and prescribing a combination
of indacaterol and glycopyrronium inhaled capsules
