Breo Ellipta and Fluticasone Furoate/Vilanterol Trifenatate

Breo Ellipta is a brand name manufactured and marketed in Canada (and the United States). It is sold under the brand name Relvar Ellipta in the United Kingdom and Europe.

The generic version of Bro Ellipta is currently unavailable (at this pharmacy).

Dosage:

Breo Ellipta and Relvar Ellipta contain the same two active ingredients: fluticasone furoate and vilanterol. They are the same medication, but the way their strengths are listed on the packaging varies between regions.
• Breo Ellipta (U.S. and Canada): available in the strengths of 100 mcg/25 mcg and 200 mcg/25 mcg, containing 30 doses
• Relvar Ellipta (U.K. and Europe): available in strengths of 92 mcg/22 mcg and 184 mcg/22 mcg, containing 30 doses

Your doctor will determine the appropriate dose based on your individual needs and medical conditions.

Usage:

Breo Ellipta (fluticasone furoate/vilanterol trifenatate) is a prescription inhaler used to treat chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma in adults, including those with chronic bronchitis, emphysema, or both. This medication is a daily maintenance treatment, and it is crucial to emphasize that it is not a rescue inhaler and should not be used for sudden asthma attacks. Patients should always have a short-acting rescue inhaler available for immediate relief.

Mechanism of Action:
Breo Ellipta is a prescription medication that contains two ingredients: fluticasone furoate and vilanterol trifenatate. Fluticasone furoate, an inhaled corticosteroid (ICS), reduces swelling and inflammation in the airways. At the same time, vilanterol, a long-acting beta-agonist (LABA), works to relax the muscles around the airways, helping them to open and stay open for a full 24 hours.

Take Breo Ellipta exactly as prescribed by your doctor, following the instructions in the product monograph in Canada. Consult your doctor for personalized guidance and safe use.

The information below summarizes some, but not all, potential side effects, risks, and interactions. Before taking Breo Ellipta, it is essential to discuss all possible effects, risks, and interactions with your doctor or pharmacist.

Side Effects:

The information below outlines potential side effects of Breo Ellipta (fluticasone furoate/vilanterol trifenatate). It is not an exhaustive list, and individual reactions can vary.

Common side effects – The following are some common side effects of Breo Ellipta; other side effects may also occur. Contact your doctor promptly if any side effects persist, worsen, or concern you, or if you experience any other concerning symptoms.
• Back pain
• Cough
• Headache
• Hoarseness
• Joint pain
• Nasopharyngitis (sore throat, runny nose, or stuffy nose)
• Oral thrush (a fungal infection in the mouth; rinsing your mouth with water and spitting it out after each dose can help prevent this.)
• Upper respiratory tract infection

Other Potential Side Effects (less common):
• Anxiety
• Bronchitis
• Changes in taste
• Fever
• Muscle spasms
• Nausea
• Sinusitis
• Stomach pain
• Tremor

Serious or rare side effects: These are rare but potentially severe side effects. Seek immediate medical attention or call emergency services if you experience any signs of an allergic reaction, such as:
• Adrenal gland problems
• Eye problems (e.g., cataracts or glaucoma)
• High blood pressure
• High blood sugar
• Irregular or fast heartbeat, or heart palpitations
• Paradoxical bronchospasm (sudden worsening of breathing right after using the inhaler)
• Pneumonia
• Weakened bones (osteoporosis)

Contraindications:

The following is not an exhaustive list of contraindications. Before taking Breo Ellipta, it is crucial to discuss all your medical conditions, past and present, and all medications you are taking with your doctor or pharmacist.

Breo Ellipta should not be used if you have any of the following conditions:
• A known severe allergy to milk proteins: The inhaler contains lactose, which is a milk sugar, and can trigger a severe allergic reaction in individuals with a specific, rare milk protein allergy.
• A known allergy to fluticasone furoate, vilanterol, or any of the inactive ingredients: Using the medication if you are allergic to its components can lead to a severe allergic reaction.
• A sudden, severe asthma or COPD attack: Breo Ellipta is a long-term control medication, not a rescue inhaler. It is designed to prevent symptoms over time and will not provide immediate relief during an acute breathing emergency.
• Tuberculosis (TB) or other untreated chronic infections: The corticosteroid component of Breo Ellipta can suppress the immune system, making it more difficult for your body to fight off an existing infection.

Drug Interactions:

Before taking Breo Ellipta, it is essential to discuss all potential risks and interactions with your doctor or pharmacist. For complete and up-to-date information, please visit the Breo Ellipta prescribing information from GSK USA at https://gskpro.com/content/dam/global/hcpportal/en_US/Prescribing_Information/Breo_Ellipta/pdf/BREO-ELLIPTA-PI-PIL-IFU.PDF.

Provide your doctor with a complete list of all your medications, including prescriptions, over-the-counter drugs, vitamins, and herbal supplements. Treo Ellipta may interact with the following:
• Antidepressants (MAOIs and TCAs): Medications like monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) or tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs) can increase the risk of cardiovascular side effects, such as an irregular heartbeat or high blood pressure, when used with Breo Ellita.
• Beta-Blockers: These medications are commonly used for heart conditions or high blood pressure. They can block the effects of the vilanterol component in Breo Ellipta, potentially making the inhaler less effective and even causing severe bronchospasm (sudden worsening of breathing).
• Diuretics (Water Pills): Certain diuretics can lower your potassium levels. When combined with the LABA component of Breo Ellipta, this effect can be worsened, potentially leading to heart rhythm changes.
• Other Long-Acting Beta-Agonist (LABA) Medications: Breo Ellipta contains vilanterol, which is a LABA. You should not use Breo Ellipta with other LABA-containing drugs (such as salmeterol or formoterol) for any reason, as this can lead to an overdose and serious side effects.
• Other Sympathomimetic Amines: These are drugs that have stimulating effects, and they are found in many cold and allergy medicines. Using them with Breo Ellipta can increase the risk of side effects, such as tremors or a faster heart rate.
• Strong CYP3A4 Inhibitors: These are medications that can significantly increase the levels of Breo Ellipta in your body, which can raise the risk of side effects. This group includes certain:
* Antifungal medications (like ketoconazole or itraconazole).
* HIV/AIDS medications (like ritonavir or cobicistat).

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding:

You must manage a pre-existing respiratory condition like asthma or COPD during pregnancy and breastfeeding, as uncontrolled breathing problems can pose serious risks to both mother and child. Although specific data on the use of Breo Ellipta (fluticasone furoate/vilanterol) in pregnant women is limited, its individual components are well-studied.

The inhaled corticosteroid fluticasone furoate is generally considered safe and preferred for long-term asthma treatment during pregnancy. The amount of medication that enters the bloodstream and reaches the fetus is minimal. Similarly, the long-acting beta-agonist vilanterol has not shown evidence of causing structural abnormalities in animal studies.

Considering these factors, the advantages of continuing treatment to preserve optimal lung function clearly outweigh the potential risks. However, women who are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding should always seek guidance from their doctor. A healthcare professional can offer personalized advice, evaluate the benefits against any possible risks, and identify the safest and most effective treatment plan for both mother and baby.

Use in Children

Breo Ellipta is a medication approved for use in adolescents and adults aged 12 and older with asthma. It is not approved for use in children under the age of 12 for the treatment of asthma in Canada (source). The safety and efficacy of Breo Ellipta in this younger age group have not been established. Always consult a healthcare professional for guidance on the proper medication and dosage for a child.
