Does a brand-name inhaler provide better efficacy compared with its generic counterpart? The clinical equivalence between generic and brand-name inhalers has yet to be determined. Moreover, there is a lack of comprehensive studies on specific populations affected by these products. To bridge this knowledge gap, Feldman et al1 conducted a cohort study focusing on adults aged 40 and above diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The research aimed to compare the effectiveness and safety of fluticasone-salmeterol inhalers (a combination therapy consisting of inhaled corticosteroids and long acting bronchod...
