Breo Ellipta

Breo Ellipta is a prescription inhaler used for the long-term treatment of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It contains two active ingredients—fluticasone furoate, a corticosteroid that reduces inflammation, and vilanterol, a long-acting beta agonist (LABA) that helps open the airways. This medication is not a rescue inhaler and should not be used for sudden breathing problems.
