Roflumilast, sold under the brand name Daxas among others, is a medication used for the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease,[4] plaque psoriasis,[5] seborrheic dermatitis,[6] and atopic dermatitis.[5] It acts as a selective, long-acting inhibitor of the enzyme phosphodiesterase-4 (PDE-4).[10] It has anti-inflammatory effects.[10][11][12]

It was approved for medical use in the European Union in 2010,[7] in the United States in 2011,[4] and in Canada in 2017.[1] It is available as a generic medication.[13]
