In those with conditions like asthma or COPD, the lungs face two main problems: the walls of the airways become swollen, and the muscles around them tighten. Fluticasone furoate and vilanterol address both issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Lowering swelling: <\/strong>Fluticasone furoate is a steroid that works in the lungs to reduce inflammation. Reducing the swelling also helps the lungs to be less sensitive to triggers like dust, cold air, or smoke.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Relaxing the muscles:<\/strong> Vilanterol is a long-acting medicine that targets the muscles around your airways. When these muscles are tight, it makes it harder for air to get through. Vilanterol relaxes those muscles, helping to keep airways open.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"quick-facts-card\">\n  <table class=\"quick-facts-table\">\n    <colgroup>\n      <col\/>\n      <col\/>\n    <\/colgroup>\n\n    <thead>\n      <tr>\n        <th colspan=\"2\">Quick Facts<\/th>\n      <\/tr>\n    <\/thead>\n\n    <tbody>\n      <tr>\n        <td><strong>Common Brands<\/strong><\/td>\n        <td>Breo Ellipta<\/td>\n      <\/tr>\n\n      <tr>\n         <td><strong>Drug Class<\/strong><\/td>\n        <td>Inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) \/ long-acting beta-agonist (LABA)<\/td>\n      <\/tr>\n\n      <tr>\n        <td><strong>Generic Status<\/strong><\/td>\n        <td>Generic version available<\/td>\n      <\/tr>\n\n      <tr>\n         <td><strong>Availability<\/strong><\/td>\n        <td>Prescription only<\/td>\n    <\/tbody>\n  <\/table>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-dosing\">Dosing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Educational dosing for fluticasone furoate and vilanterol is based on its 24-hour activity window. This is a once-daily medication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Standard dose:<\/strong> The typical dose is one inhalation (puff) by mouth once a day.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Consistency:<\/strong> Standard guidelines suggest taking your puff at the same time every single day. It can be taken in the morning or at night, as long as the timing remains consistent.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Proper technique:<\/strong> Standard guidelines state that you do not need to shake this inhaler. Slide the cover down until you hear a click to load the powder. Providers typically advise breathing out fully away from the device, then taking a long, steady, deep breath through the mouthpiece.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Holding your breath:<\/strong> After inhaling the powder, providers suggest trying to hold your breath for about 3 to 4 seconds to ensure the medicine settles into your lungs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Missing a dose:<\/strong> If you miss your scheduled dose, it is generally recommended to take it as soon as you remember. However, providers do not recommend taking more than one dose in a 24-hour period. If it is almost time for your next dose, it is generally accepted to wait and stay on your regular schedule.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>Note:<\/strong> Dosing information below is educational only. Your prescribing physician will determine your specific dose based on your individual health needs.\u00a0Always follow your healthcare provider\u2019s instructions for exact dosing.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-uses\">Uses<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>FDA-Approved Uses<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The FDA approves fluticasone furoate and vilanterol for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Asthma maintenance:<\/strong> Long-term, once-daily treatment.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>COPD maintenance:<\/strong> Long-term management of airflow obstruction and reducing flare-ups for chronic lung conditions such as chronic bronchitis or emphysema.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Off-Label Uses<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may see fluticasone furoate and vilanterol prescribed for uses that are not FDA-approved. This is a common and legal practice called off-label prescribing, where a doctor uses their clinical judgment to prescribe a drug for a different (but well-researched) purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fluticasone furoate and vilanterol may be prescribed off-label for post-infectious cough. Some providers use this combination to settle the lingering, high-level inflammation and airways spasms that can follow severe viral pneumonia or bronchitis.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"telyrx-email-cta telyrx-email-cta--banner alignfull wp-block-telyrx-email-signup\">\n\t\t<h2 class=\"telyrx-email-cta__heading\" data-toc-hidden=\"true\">Get Savings Updates<\/h2>\n\t<p class=\"telyrx-email-cta__description\">Join our mailing list for exclusive deals and more.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<form\n\t\t\tid=\"telyrx-email-form-1\"\n\t\t\tclass=\"telyrx-email-cta__form\"\n\t\t\tdata-portal-id=\"46401311\"\n\t\t\tdata-form-id=\"14e1d7d5-6b17-4228-b42e-c06d1a6c240b\"\n\t\t\tdata-i18n=\"{&quot;subscribe&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;success&quot;:&quot;Thanks!

It\u2019s generally accepted that you stop taking the medication and immediately call the doctor if you experience any of the following symptoms:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Pneumonia:<\/strong> Patients with COPD have an increased risk of lung infections while using inhaled steroids. It is generally advised to watch for fever, chills, or changes in mucus color.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Paradoxical bronchospasm:<\/strong> A rare reaction where breathing gets suddenly worse immediately after use.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Heart issues:<\/strong> Rapid or irregular heartbeat, chest pain, or elevated blood pressure.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Eye problems:<\/strong> Long-term use of steroids may increase the risk of glaucoma or cataracts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Low potassium levels (hypokalemia): <\/strong>Fluticasone furoate and vilanterol<strong> <\/strong>can lead to low potassium levels, which can be serious. Symptoms include muscle cramps or twitching, constipation, and unusual weakness or tiredness.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>High blood sugar (hyperglycemia): <\/strong>Fluticasone furoate and vilanterol can raise blood sugar levels. Symptoms include confusion and increased hunger, thirst, or urination.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Adrenal suppression:<\/strong> Long-term use of inhaled corticosteroids can reduce the adrenal glands&#8217; ability to produce natural stress hormones, a condition called adrenal insufficiency. Symptoms include fatigue, weakness, low blood pressure, nausea, or vomiting.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Weakened immune system:<\/strong> Steroids can make it harder for your body to fight off certain infections like chickenpox or measles.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Severe allergic reactions:<\/strong> Symptoms include swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat; difficulty breathing or swallowing; racing heart; severe rash or itching; and\/or fever.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-muted-color has-text-color\" style=\"font-size:0.875rem\"><em>Call your doctor immediately if you experience any concerning or prolonged symptoms.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-pharmacist-tips\">Pharmacist Tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-rinse-and-spit\">Rinse And Spit<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>After your daily puff, it is advisable to rinse your mouth with water and spit it out. Providers do not recommend swallowing the water. This helps remove leftover steroid powder from your tongue and throat, which lowers your risk of developing oral thrush.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-don-t-wash-the-device\">Don&#8217;t Wash The Device<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Standard guidelines do not advise using water to clean your inhaler. Simply wipe the mouthpiece with a dry tissue or cloth once a week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-watch-the-counter\">Watch The Counter<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Ellipta inhaler has a large dose counter on the front. When it reaches 0, the device is empty and must be thrown away, even if you still hear a slight rattling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-mind-the-foil-tray\">Mind The Foil Tray<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It is generally advised only to open the foil tray when you are ready to start using the inhaler for the first time. Once removed from the tray, the medication is sensitive to humidity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-keep-your-rescue-handy\">Keep Your Rescue Handy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Because this medication takes time to build up in your system, it will not stop a sudden attack. Standard guidelines recommend keeping a fast-acting rescue inhaler (such as albuterol) with you for emergencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-drug-interactions\">Drug Interactions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Certain medications can interfere with how fluticasone furoate and vilanterol work or increase the risk of side effects. Let your doctor know if you take:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Beta-blockers:<\/strong> Common blood pressure or heart medications like metoprolol or propranolol can block the airway-relaxing effects of vilanterol.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Antifungals and antivirals:<\/strong> Drugs such as ketoconazole or ritonavir can increase the amount of steroid absorbed into the body, increasing the risk of systemic (whole body) side effects.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>MAOIs and antidepressants:<\/strong> These can increase the bronchodilator&#8217;s impact on your heart rate.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Diuretics:<\/strong> Some water pills can lower your potassium. Using them with this inhaler may cause potassium levels to drop further, which can affect heart rhythm.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Always give your doctor and pharmacist a complete list of all your medications, vitamins, and supplements to check for potential interactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"telyrx-faq-section\" data-toc-title=\"FAQs\">\n\t<h2 class=\"telyrx-faq-heading\">FAQs<\/h2>\n\t\t<div class=\"telyrx-faq-items\">\n\t\t\n\n<details class=\"telyrx-faq-item\">\n\t<summary class=\"telyrx-faq-question\">\n\t\t<span class=\"telyrx-faq-question-text\">What is the difference between brand Breo Ellipta and generic fluticasone furoate\/vilanterol?<\/span>\n\t\t<svg class=\"telyrx-faq-chevron\" width=\"20\" height=\"20\" viewBox=\"0 0 20 20\" fill=\"none\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t<path d=\"M5 7.5L10 12.5L15 7.5\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"2\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\"\/>\n\t\t<\/svg>\n\t<\/summary>\n\t<div class=\"telyrx-faq-answer\">\n\t\t\n\n<p>They contain the same active ingredients in the same doses.
