Does anoro have a generic?

Short answer:
No. In the United States there isn’t a generic version of Anoro Ellipta (the fixed‑dose combination of mometasone furoate and formoterol fumarate) available. The only product you’ll find on the market is the branded GSK inhaler.

Why that is the case

- Combination drug – Anoro is a fixed‑dose combination of a steroid (mometasone) and a long‑acting beta‑agonist (formoterol). Because the two molecules are delivered in a single, specially engineered inhaler device (Ellipta), the FDA hasn’t approved a “generic” that replicates the exact drug–device combination.
- Regulatory status – The FDA has not yet cleared any generic applications for this product. In contrast, the individual components (mometasone and formoterol) are available in separate generic inhalers, and there are generic versions of other combination inhalers (e.g., budesonide/formoterol in Symbicort® or fluticasone/salmeterol in Advair®).
- International availability – In a few other countries a “generic” Anoro‑type product (often sold under the brand name Anoro or as a generic combination) may be available, but in the U.S. the brand remains the sole option.

If you’re looking for cost‑effective alternatives

| Brand | Generic name | Active ingredients | Typical cost considerations |
|-------|--------------|---------------------|-----------------------------|
| Anoro Ellipta (GSK) | – | mometasone furoate + formoterol | No generic; use GSK or manufacturer discount programs |
| Symbicort® (GSK) | Budesonide + formoterol | budesonide + formoterol | Generic budesonide + formoterol inhalers are available |
| Advair® (GSK) | Fluticasone + salmeterol | fluticasone + salmeterol | Generic fluticasone + salmeterol inhalers are available |
| Pulmicort Respules® (GSK) | Mometasone | mometasone | Generic mometasone inhaler available |

If you’re already on Anoro and want to see if a cheaper option exists, discuss with your prescriber or pharmacist. They can evaluate whether switching to a different combination inhaler (or a separate steroid + LABA) would be therapeutically equivalent for your asthma or COPD control.

Bottom line: Anoro Ellipta itself has no generic counterpart in the U.S. – it remains a branded product. However, there are generic inhaler options for each of its components and for other combination inhalers that can offer similar control at a lower price.
