4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the pharmaceutical composition is administered by inhalation.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the pharmaceutical composition is administered using a nebulizer inhaler.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the pharmaceutical composition is administered in a single daily dose.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the pharmaceutical composition comprises a pharmaceutically acceptable aqueous carrier.
8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the pharmaceutical composition has a pH in the range of from 3 to 8.
9. The method of claim 7 , wherein the pharmaceutical composition further comprises a buffer.
10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the buffer is a sodium chloride citric acid buffer.
11. The method of claim 7 , wherein the pharmaceutical composition is an isotonic aqueous solution.
12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the isotonic aqueous solution comprises about 0.05 μg/mL to about 10 mg/mL of biphenyl-2-ylcarbamic acid 1-(2-{[4-(4-carbamoylpiperidin-1-ylmethyl)benzoyl]methylamino}ethyl)piperidin-4-yl ester or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
13. The method of claim 1 , wherein the pharmaceutical composition further comprises a β 2 adrenergic receptor agonist.
14. The method of claim 1 , wherein the pharmaceutical composition further comprises a steroidal anti-inflammatory agent.
15. A method of treating chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in a human patient, the method comprising administering to the patient by inhalation a pharmaceutical composition comprising a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and biphenyl-2-ylcarbamic acid 1-(2-{[4-(4-carbamoylpiperidin-1-ylmethyl)benzoyl]methylamino}ethyl)-piperidin-4-yl ester or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof; wherein the pharmaceutical composition is administered to the patient in an amount sufficient to provide about 10 μg/day to about 200 μg/day of biphenyl-2-ylcarbamic acid 1-(2-{[4-(4-carbamoylpiperidin-1-ylmethyl)benzoyl]-methylamino}ethyl)piperidin-4-yl ester or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
16. The method of claim 15 , wherein the pharmaceutical composition is administered using a nebulizer inhaler.
17. The method of claim 15 , wherein the pharmaceutical composition is administered in a single daily dose.
18. The method of claim 15 , wherein the pharmaceutical composition comprises a pharmaceutically acceptable aqueous carrier.
19. The method of claim 18 , wherein the pharmaceutical composition has a pH in the range of from 3 to 8.
20. The method of claim 18 , wherein the pharmaceutical composition further comprises a buffer.
21. The method of claim 20 , wherein the buffer is a sodium chloride citric acid buffer.
22. The method of claim 18 , wherein the pharmaceutical composition is an isotonic aqueous solution.
23. The method of claim 22 , wherein the isotonic aqueous solution comprises about 0.05 μg/mL to about 10 mg/mL of biphenyl-2-ylcarbamic acid 1-(2-{[4-(4-carbamoylpiperidin-1-ylmethyl)benzoyl]methylamino}ethyl)piperidin-4-yl ester or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
24. The method of claim 15 , wherein the pharmaceutical composition further comprises a β 2 adrenergic receptor agonist.
25. The method of claim 15 , wherein the pharmaceutical composition further comprises a steroidal anti-inflammatory agent.
