Abstract

The article discusses the research findings on the effectiveness and safety of combination treatment with roflumilast and quercetin in aggravated chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) along with a co-occurring comorbid ischemic heart disease (IHD). Clinical evidence highlights the effect of combination of roflumilast and quercetin as a part of the basic treatment of COPD and conventional treatment of IHD on clinical symptomatology, C-reactive protein levels, and α2-macroglobulin in plasma. It was found that a complex therapy leads to a substantial improvement of patients’ clinical condition owing to reduced systemic inflammatory activation and improved immune defense, which decreases incidence of cardiovascular complications.
