Breo Ellipta® Inhaler for Asthma and COPD

Breo Ellipta is a once-daily maintenance inhaler for asthma and COPD. It combines an inhaled corticosteroid with a long-acting bronchodilator to help control symptoms. We make it simple to access Canadian pricing with US delivery from Canada, including options if you are paying without insurance.

What Breo Ellipta Is and How It Works

Breo Ellipta® contains fluticasone furoate, an inhaled corticosteroid, and vilanterol, a long-acting beta2-agonist. Together, they help reduce airway inflammation and keep the muscles around your airways relaxed for a full day. This is a controller inhaler, not a rescue inhaler.

YouDrugstore is a licensed Canadian pharmacy in Manitoba. Pharmacists review prescriptions before dispensing.

The medicine’s steroid component can lower airway swelling over time. The LABA component helps maintain easier breathing across 24 hours. Asthma care plans often combine daily control therapy with a separate quick-relief inhaler.

Fluticasone furoate vilanterol is delivered through the Ellipta device. After inhalation, rinse your mouth and spit to reduce the chance of oral thrush. Do not use this treatment to relieve sudden breathing symptoms; keep a fast-acting inhaler available.

Who It’s For

This combination is indicated for the maintenance treatment of asthma in adults and for long-term COPD control, including reduction of exacerbations, per approved labeling. It is not for acute bronchospasm. It may be appropriate for adults who need daily controller therapy after evaluation by a clinician.

Some people should avoid it. Those with severe allergy to milk proteins or to any ingredient should not use the device. Patients using another LABA should not take a second LABA. Breo Ellipta for asthma may be considered when symptoms are not well controlled on inhaled steroid alone.

For COPD, your prescriber may consider this therapy if you have ongoing symptoms or frequent flares. Review your full medical history, including eye conditions, bone health, heart rhythm concerns, and infection risks, before starting.

Dosage and Usage

Use one inhalation once daily, at the same time each day, as directed by your prescriber. Do not take more than one dose in 24 hours. Do not use to treat sudden symptoms. Keep a short-acting reliever on hand.

How to use: open the cover fully until you hear a click. Breathe out fully, away from the mouthpiece. Seal lips around the mouthpiece without covering air vents. Take a long, steady, deep breath in. Remove the inhaler and hold your breath for several seconds. Then breathe out slowly. Close the device after use.

Rinse your mouth and spit after each dose. This helps reduce the risk of oral thrush and hoarseness. If your breathing worsens, or you need your rescue inhaler more often, seek medical advice promptly.

Fluticasone furoate vilanterol Ellipta is taken every day to help maintain control. If you are unsure about the technique, ask a healthcare professional to review the steps with you.

Strengths and Forms

This inhalation powder is supplied in the Ellipta device with a built-in dose counter. Common strengths include 100/25 mcg and 200/25 mcg per inhalation, depending on the prescription. Availability may vary by market and stock.

Each device is sealed in a tray. Once opened, the dose counter shows how many inhalations remain. Dispose of the device when the counter reads zero or after the labeled in-use period.

Missed Dose and Timing

If you miss a dose, take your next dose at the usual time. Do not take two doses at once or extra doses to catch up. Taking more than directed increases the chance of side effects without improving control.

Storage and Travel Basics

Store the inhaler in its unopened tray until you are ready to start using it. Keep at room temperature, protected from moisture. Keep the mouthpiece clean and dry. Do not wash or take the device apart. Discard the inhaler when the counter reaches zero or after the product’s in-use period, whichever comes first.

For travel, carry your inhaler in your hand luggage. Keep it in the original packaging with your prescription label. Bring a backup reliever if prescribed, plus a spacer for your rescue inhaler if directed. Avoid extreme heat or cold, such as a hot car or freezing temperatures. Carry a simple asthma or COPD action sheet if your prescriber provided one. If airport screening raises questions, the labeled box helps explain your medication.

Benefits

This combination therapy can reduce day-to-day symptoms and help prevent flare-ups when taken consistently. Once-daily dosing supports routine and may improve adherence. The Ellipta device is breath-activated and does not require coordination of pressing and inhaling. Having both an anti-inflammatory component and a long-acting bronchodilator in one inhaler can simplify your regimen.

Side Effects and Safety

• Common: sore throat, hoarseness, cough, headache, runny or stuffy nose
• Oral thrush: white patches in the mouth or on the tongue
• Tremor or fast heartbeat: usually mild and transient
• Muscle cramps or low potassium: may occur, especially with certain diuretics

Serious or rare effects can include pneumonia in COPD, paradoxical bronchospasm, adrenal suppression, weakened immunity, eye effects like glaucoma or cataracts, bone density loss, and severe allergic reactions. Seek urgent care for breathing that suddenly worsens after a dose, hives, swelling of the face or throat, fainting, or severe chest pain. Hypoglycemia risk is generally associated with insulin or sulfonylureas; discuss your diabetes medicines if applicable.

Report side effects to your prescriber. Do not stop or change therapy without medical guidance.

Drug Interactions and Cautions

Tell your prescriber about all medicines and supplements you take. Strong CYP3A4 inhibitors, such as ketoconazole or ritonavir, can increase steroid exposure. Beta-blockers may reduce the bronchodilator effect. Tricyclic antidepressants or MAO inhibitors can raise the risk of heart rhythm effects with LABAs. Use caution with diuretics that deplete potassium. Do not use another long-acting beta-agonist with this treatment.

People with severe milk protein allergy should avoid the device. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, discuss potential risks and benefits. Monitor for infections if you are on medicines that suppress the immune system. Regular eye exams may be advised if you have glaucoma or cataracts.

What to Expect Over Time

Many people notice steadier control after consistent daily use. You may still need a reliever for sudden symptoms. Track how often you use your rescue inhaler, sleep quality, and exercise tolerance, and share this information at follow-up visits. If your control plan changes, your prescriber will advise next steps based on symptoms, lung function, and exacerbation history.

Education and technique checks help. Consider bookmarking reliable resources on lung health, such as What Is Asthma and Bronchitis And COPD articles.

Compare With Alternatives

Other maintenance options include an inhaled steroid plus a long-acting bronchodilator in different devices, or triple therapy that adds an antimuscarinic. For patients who need a comparable ICS/LABA in a disk device, your prescriber may consider Advair Diskus. For those needing once-daily triple therapy, a prescriber may evaluate Trelegy Ellipta. Selection depends on diagnosis, symptom profile, and prior response.

Patient Suitability and Cost-Saving Tips

Good candidates include adults who need daily control for asthma or COPD and are appropriate for an ICS/LABA combination. Those with milk protein allergy or who are taking another LABA should avoid this device. People with certain eye, bone, heart rhythm, or immune conditions need careful evaluation.

• Multi-month fills: fewer refills and potential per-inhaler savings
• Dose tracking: use a calendar or reminder app
• Technique checks: confirm steps at clinic visits
• Rescue plan: keep a reliever available if prescribed
• Condition resources: review our Respiratory guides

If your plan includes other therapies, your clinician may also discuss add-ons or step-down strategies during stable periods.
