WHAT LAVENTAIR ELLIPTA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
WHAT LAVENTAIR ELLIPTA IS
LAVENTAIR ELLIPTA contains two active substances umeclidinium bromide
and vilanterol. These belong
to a group of medicines called bronchodilators.
WHAT LAVENTAIR ELLIPTA IS USED FOR
LAVENTAIR ELLIPTA is used to treat chronic obstructive pulmonary
disease (
COPD
) in adults. COPD is
a long-term condition characterised by breathing difficulties that
slowly get worse.
In COPD the muscles around the airways tighten. This medicine blocks
the tightening of these muscles in the
lungs, making it easier for air to get in and out of the lungs. When
used regularly, it can help to control your
breathing difficulties and reduce the effects of COPD on your everyday
life.
