Diquat is the ISO common name[4] for an organic dication that, as a salt with counterions such as bromide or chloride is used as a contact herbicide that produces desiccation and defoliation. Diquat is no longer approved for use in the European Union, although its registration in many other countries including the USA is still valid.

Aclidinium bromide (INN) is a long-acting, inhaled muscarinic antagonist (LAMA) approved in the United States on July 24, 2012[1] as a maintenance treatment for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).[2]
Evidence shows that it can improve quality of life and prevent hospitalization in those with COPD.[3] However, it does not appear to affect the risk of death or the frequency steroids are needed.[3] It is unclear if it differs from the similar medication tiotropium or other commonly used medications from the class of LAMAs.[3]
Aclidinium is delivered via a multidose dry powder inhaler, the Genuair inhaler. It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines.[4]
