If you miss a dose of Brovana (arformoterol), simply skip your missed dose and take your next dose at your usual time. Brovana, a drug prescribed to treat chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder, or COPD, comes as a liquid solution that you put in a nebulizer, a machine that turns the liquid into a mist that's inhaled through a face mask or mouthpiece. You should not inhale two doses of Brovana to compensate for one that you missed. Brovana is usually prescribed to be inhaled twice a day with 12 hours in between doses.
