Anoro Ellipta 62.5/25 mgm Inhalation Powder 30 Doses

Product Description:

• Anoro ellipta contains two active substances umeclidinium bromide and vilanterol. 
• These belong to a group of medicines called bronchodilators.
• What anoro ellipta is used against
• Anoro ellipta is used to treat chronic obstructive pulmonary disease ( copd ) in adults. 
• Copd is a long-term condition, characterized by breathing difficulties that slowly worsen.
• In copd , the muscles around the airways tighten. 
• This medicine prevents the tightening of these muscles in the lungs so that air can enter and leave the lungs more easily. 
• When used regularly it can help control your breathing difficulties and reduce the effects of copd in your everyday life.
• Anoro ellipta should not be used for acute treatment of congestion or wheezing. 
• If you experience such an attack , you must use a fast-acting inhaler (such as salbutamol). Contact your doctor if you do not have a fast-acting inhaler.

How To Use:

• The recommended dose is one inhalation every day at the same time of day. 
• You only need to inhale once a day because the effect of this medicine lasts for 24 hours.
• Do not use more than your doctor has told you .

Use ANORO ELLIPTA regularly:

• It is very important that you use ANORO ELLIPTA every day, as your doctor has told you.

• ANORO ELLIPTA should not be used to relieve acute attacks of congestion or wheezing. 
• If you have such an attack , you must use a fast-acting inhaler (such as salbutamol).
