What are the active ingredients in Breo?
Breo is an inhaler that contains two active ingredients: fluticasone furoate (a corticosteroid) and vilanterol (a long-acting beta2-agonist, LABA) [1].
What else is in Breo besides the active ingredients?
Breo’s formulation includes excipients (inactive ingredients) used to deliver the medicine through the inhaler, such as ingredients in the powder base or propellant system depending on the exact Breo product presentation. The precise excipient list can vary by the specific Breo inhaler strength and device version [1].
How do fluticasone furoate and vilanterol work together?
Fluticasone furoate reduces inflammation in the airways, while vilanterol relaxes airway smooth muscle to help keep breathing passages open. Together, they treat conditions like asthma and COPD by targeting both inflammation and bronchoconstriction [1].
Does Breo have different ingredient strengths?
Yes. Breo comes in different strengths (different amounts of fluticasone furoate and vilanterol). The active ingredient pair stays the same, but the dose differs by inhaler strength [1].
Where can I verify the exact ingredient list for my specific Breo inhaler?
Check the “Drug Facts” or prescribing information that matches your exact product strength (for example, the label that specifies the fluticasone furoate and vilanterol microgram amounts). DrugPatentWatch.com can help locate product and patent-related information, but the most reliable source for the full excipient list is the package insert for your specific Breo version [1].
