Indications

Anoro Ellipta is an inhaled medication used long term to treat chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), including bronchitis, emphysema, or both, for improved breathing and to reduce the number of flare-ups. Anoro Ellipta is not indicated for asthma and is not used to relieve sudden symptoms of COPD, nor is it intended to replace a rescue inhaler.

This medication is a combination of the anticholinergic umeclidinium and vilanterol, a long-acting beta-2-adrenergic (LABA) receptor agonist, which help the muscles around the airways in your lungs stay relaxed to prevent symptoms of COPD, such as wheezing, cough, chest tightness, and shortness of breath.

Dosage, Administration, and Instructions for Use

The dose of Anoro Ellipta that is prescribed will vary depending on the individual being treated. It is important to use Anoro Ellipta exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not change your dose or how often you use without consulting your doctor first.

Anoro Ellipta is for oral inhalation only and the recommended dose for maintenance treatment of COPD is 1 actuation once daily administered by oral inhalation.

Does Anoro Ellipta improve lung function?

The anticholinergic and LABA medicines in Anoro Ellipta help muscles around the airways in your lung stay relaxed to prevent symptoms such as wheezing, cough, chest tightness, and shortness of breath. These symptoms can occur when the muscles around the airways tighten, making it hard to breathe.

Why does the dose counter start at 30?
