Treats COPD.
Anoro Ellipta (umeclidinium / vilanterol) is good first-choice treatment for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), but may be more expensive than older medicines that work just like as well.
Upsides
- 2-in-1 medicine is more effective together than alone.
- The diskus is used to treat both COPD and asthma.
- The inhaler device is simple and easy to use for patients with joint pain.
- Its once daily dosing is more convenient than other medicines that work like it.
Downsides
- Take it daily and consistently for the best results. It is not for on-demand treatment of wheezing or asthma attacks.
- Rinse your mouth with water after each inhalation to avoid fungal infections of the mouth.
- You have to take it consistently to get the full dose and benefits of treatment.
- It doesn't treat asthma.
- You will still need to have a rescue inhaler handy in case of sudden breathing attacks.
