You should not use Arcapta if you are allergic to it, indacaterol, or any of the inactive components used to make the medicine. Your healthcare provider or pharmacist has a list of the inactive ingredients. Even though Arcapta is not approved for asthma treatment, it is sometimes used "off-label" for this purpose. Arcapta should never be used to treat asthma without being combined with a long-term asthma controller medication (such as an inhaled steroid).
