Brief Summary   Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a progressive inflammatory lung disease that is characterized by chronic airflow limitation and persistent respiratory symptoms (e.g. dyspnoea, sputum production and cough). Assessment of safety and effectiveness of GFB triple therapy in real world Indian clinical setting would be beneficial for further characterization of its safety and efficacy. Hence, this study has been planned to be conducted in Indian patients to observe its safety and effectiveness for GFB MDI and GFB DPI. The study is a prospective, open label, multicentre, single arm, interventional study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of GFB MDI/DPI in the management of COPD among Indian patients. Treatment and study duration is of 24 weeks including 4 physical visits and 2 telephonic visits.
