What is in breo?

What is “Breo,” and what does it contain?

“Breo” usually refers to Breo Ellipta, an inhaler used for long-term maintenance treatment of asthma and for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Breo Ellipta contains two active ingredients: fluticasone furoate (an inhaled corticosteroid) and vilanterol trifenatate (a long-acting beta2-agonist).

What does each ingredient do?

Fluticasone furoate reduces airway inflammation (it helps prevent asthma attacks and helps control COPD symptoms).
Vilanterol trifenatate relaxes airway muscles to improve airflow and reduce symptoms over time.

Is there more than one “Breo” version?

Breo Ellipta products come in different strength options (typically varying the dose of fluticasone while keeping vilanterol consistent). The exact strength you see on the device determines the fluticasone dose.

How is Breo different from “Breo” without Ellipta?

If someone says “Breo” without “Ellipta,” they often still mean the Breo Ellipta inhaler brand. If you can share the full label (for example, “Breo Ellipta 100/25” or “Breo Ellipta 200/25”), I can tell you the specific dose listed for that product.

Where can I verify the exact ingredients and strengths?
