What’s inside Breo Ellipta? (Active ingredients and what they do)
Breo Ellipta contains two active ingredients: fluticasone furoate and vilanterol. These work together to manage asthma or COPD by reducing airway inflammation (fluticasone furoate) and relaxing airway muscles to prevent bronchospasm (vilanterol). [1]
Are “ingredients” the same as “inactive ingredients” for Breo Ellipta?
No. The label typically separates active ingredients (medication) from inactive ingredients (the formulation carriers and other substances used to make the inhaler work). The specific inactive ingredients are listed in the full prescribing information/consumer medication guide for the product strength and form. [1]
Which strengths are there, and does ingredient content change?
Breo Ellipta is sold in different strengths (for example, different amounts of fluticasone furoate with a fixed amount of vilanterol per inhalation). The active ingredient pairing stays the same, but the fluticasone amount varies by strength, which changes the active ingredient dose per inhalation. [1]
Can I see the full ingredient list (including inactive components)?
Drug label ingredient lists (active + inactive) are typically available in the official prescribing information for the specific Breo Ellipta strength and device. If you share the exact strength written on your box (e.g., 100/25 or 200/25 mcg), I can help you pinpoint the matching ingredient listing from the label. [1]
Does Breo Ellipta contain any common allergens (like lactose)?
Inhaler dry powder formulations often include excipients (inactive ingredients) that can include carriers such as lactose, but the exact excipient composition depends on the product formulation. The confirmed excipients come from the specific label for your strength. [1]
