WHAT ROLUFTA ELLIPTA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
WHAT ROLUFTA ELLIPTA IS
Rolufta Ellipta contains the active substance umeclidinium (as
bromide), which belongs to a group of
medicines called bronchodilators.
WHAT ROLUFTA ELLIPTA IS USED FOR
This medicine is used to treat chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (
COPD
) in adults. COPD is a
long-term condition in which the airways and air-sacs in the lungs
gradually become blocked or
damaged, leading to breathing difficulties that slowly get worse.
Difficulties in breathing is added to

airways and so restricts the flow
of air.
This medicine blocks the tightening of these muscles, making it easier
for air to get in and out of the
lungs. When used regularly, it can help control your breathing
