Fluticasone Furoate and Vilanterol Ellipta Inhaler
Fluticasone furoate and vilanterol is an inhaled medication used to help control symptoms of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It combines two medicines: fluticasone furoate, a corticosteroid that reduces inflammation in the lungs, and vilanterol, a long-acting bronchodilator that relaxes airway muscles to improve breathing. Fluticasone furoate and vilanterol is not a rescue inhaler; it is used daily to help prevent flare-ups and maintain long-term lung health.

Fluticasone Furoate and Vilanterol Ellipta Inhaler Medication Description
Fluticasone furoate and vilanterol is a combination inhaler designed for long-term management of asthma and COPD. It contains fluticasone furoate, which reduces inflammation in the airways, and vilanterol, which helps keep the airways open by relaxing the muscles around them. This dual-action approach improves breathing and reduces the risk of flare-ups. Fluticasone furoate and vilanterol is typically prescribed when symptoms are not well controlled with a single medication or when patients experience frequent exacerbations. The inhaler is generally used once daily, making it convenient for patients who require ongoing therapy. It is not a quick-relief medication and should never be used during an acute asthma attack or sudden shortness of breath. Clinical studies have demonstrated that fluticasone furoate and vilanterol can significantly improve lung function and reduce hospitalizations related to COPD exacerbations. Proper technique and adherence are essential for effectiveness, and patients should follow education on correct inhaler use and oral hygiene after inhalation. -
Fluticasone Furoate and Vilanterol Ellipta Inhaler Side Effects
Common side effects of fluticasone furoate and vilanterol include headache, throat irritation, hoarseness, and oral thrush. More serious risks include pneumonia in COPD patients, adrenal suppression, and potential cardiovascular effects such as increased heart rate or blood pressure. Rarely, allergic reactions may occur. Patients should monitor for worsening breathing, signs of infection, or unusual fatigue, and seek medical attention if these occur. Rinsing the mouth after each dose and following the prescribed regimen can help minimize side effects. -
