Arnuity Ellipta® (fluticasone furoate) Inhaler for Asthma Control

What Arnuity Ellipta® Is and How It Works

Arnuity Ellipta® contains fluticasone furoate, an inhaled corticosteroid for maintenance treatment of asthma. It reduces airway inflammation to help prevent symptoms and flare-ups. The dry powder inhaler delivers a once-daily dose. Many shoppers compare Arnuity Ellipta Inhaler price and availability when planning ongoing therapy, and some look for Arnuity Ellipta Inhaler without insurance options. YouDrugstore is a licensed Canadian pharmacy in Manitoba. Our pharmacists review prescriptions before dispensing, and we ship brand and generic medicines to the US at Canadian prices.

Arnuity Ellipta® is not a rescue inhaler and does not relieve sudden breathing problems. The medicine works best when you use it every day as prescribed. Typical strengths include 50 mcg, 100 mcg, and 200 mcg per actuation in a 30-dose device. Your prescriber chooses a dose based on your asthma plan and past control.

We source from licensed and vetted partner pharmacies to provide authentic brands and a broad selection at affordable prices. You can also find OTC health products here, and our customer-service chat is available during posted office hours for ordering support.

Dosage and Usage

Use Arnuity Ellipta® exactly as directed by your prescriber. It is usually taken once daily at the same time.

• Open the foil tray only when you are ready to start using the inhaler.
• Slide the cover down until it clicks to load a dose. Do not shake.
• Exhale away from the mouthpiece. Do not breathe into the device.
• Seal your lips around the mouthpiece and inhale steadily and deeply.
• Hold your breath for about 5 to 10 seconds, then breathe out slowly.
• Close the cover after each dose to reset the inhaler.
• Rinse your mouth with water and spit after each use to help reduce thrush.
• Keep a rescue inhaler for sudden symptoms, as advised by your prescriber.

Missed dose:

• If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember the same day.
• If it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose.
• Do not take two doses at once.

Storage and travel:

• Store at room temperature (about 20–25°C). Keep dry.
• Keep the inhaler in the sealed tray until first use.
• Write the opening date on the label. Discard 6 weeks after opening or when the counter reads 0, whichever comes first.
• Do not wash the mouthpiece. Wipe with a dry tissue if needed.
• Keep away from heat, moisture, and direct sunlight during travel.

Benefits and Savings

Regular use of Arnuity Ellipta® can reduce day and night asthma symptoms. Many patients see fewer exacerbations and better lung function. Once-daily dosing supports adherence. The ELLIPTA device is simple to use and requires no priming.

Buying through a licensed Canadian pharmacy can lower costs. Typical savings run 60–80% versus many US retail prices. This can help patients who pay cash or those managing higher deductibles. It is also possible to save when purchasing Arnuity Ellipta® without insurance.

Side Effects and Safety

Most side effects are mild and often improve with continued use. Contact your healthcare professional if symptoms persist or worsen.

• Common: headache, throat irritation, hoarseness, cough, nasal congestion, runny nose, oral thrush (white patches), and mild bronchitis symptoms.
• Less common: bruising, back pain, fatigue, altered taste, and dry mouth.
• Serious: hypersensitivity reactions, severe rash, swelling, anaphylaxis, paradoxical bronchospasm, vision changes (glaucoma or cataracts), decreased bone density, adrenal suppression, and increased infection risk.
• Pediatric concerns: possible effects on growth with long-term use. Clinicians monitor growth routinely.
• Interactions: strong CYP3A4 inhibitors (for example, ritonavir or ketoconazole) may increase steroid exposure. Tell your prescriber about all medicines and supplements.
• Contraindications: severe milk protein allergy due to lactose content in the device, and known hypersensitivity to fluticasone furoate.

Seek urgent care for severe breathing problems, chest tightness, or signs of an allergic reaction.

Onset Time

Some people notice easier breathing within the first day. Full benefit builds with daily use. Symptom control often improves within 1 to 2 weeks. Peak improvements may take several weeks. Keep using Arnuity Ellipta® each day unless your prescriber changes your plan.

Compare With Alternatives

Arnuity Ellipta® is a once-daily inhaled corticosteroid (ICS). Other ICS options include fluticasone propionate (Flovent), budesonide (Pulmicort), beclomethasone (Qvar), and mometasone (Asmanex). Many of these are taken twice daily. Device handling and taste can differ and may guide selection.

Some patients need both an ICS and a long-acting bronchodilator. Combination ICS/LABA inhalers pair a steroid with a long-acting beta agonist. Examples include Advair® Diskus and Advair® Hfa Inhaler. These products may suit people with more frequent symptoms or exacerbations. Your prescriber will decide if stepping up therapy is appropriate.

Short-acting bronchodilators are used for quick relief. Ipratropium/albuterol combinations, such as Combivent, are often used in COPD, not routine asthma control. Always follow your personalized asthma action plan.

Combination Therapy

Arnuity Ellipta® provides anti-inflammatory control. Rescue inhalers are still needed for sudden symptoms. Some patients may also use leukotriene receptor antagonists (for example, montelukast) or antihistamines for allergic triggers. Those with frequent exacerbations may move to an ICS/LABA, or have add-on therapies based on guideline-directed care. Do not stop or change medicines without guidance from your prescriber.

Patient Suitability and Cost-Saving Tips

Arnuity Ellipta® is for maintenance treatment of asthma. It is not for status asthmaticus or acute bronchospasm. People with a severe milk protein allergy should avoid it. Use caution if you have uncontrolled infections, eye problems like glaucoma or cataracts, bone disease, or a history of tuberculosis. Discuss pregnancy or breastfeeding plans with your clinician.

You can lower monthly costs by choosing larger fills when appropriate. Multi-month supplies often reduce the per-month price, and our team can set gentle reorder reminders so you do not run out. If you are comparing pharmacies, check both the unit price and the total number of doses per device. This helps you compare true monthly costs. Some shoppers look for Arnuity Ellipta Inhaler no insurance pricing when budgets are tight.
