Why is Incruse Ellipta prescribed?

Incruse Ellipta, with generic name Umeclidinium, is an oral inhalation medication used to control and treat symptoms associated with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (chronic bronchitis or emphysema) in adults.

What does it do?

Umeclidinium is classified under anticholinergics, which facilitates the relaxation and opening of the airways to improve breathing and control the symptoms of COPD such as chest tightness, coughing, difficulty of breathing, and wheezing.

How should I use it?

Incruse Ellipta is currently available as a 62.5mcg powder inhaler, inhaled by mouth. Each type of inhaler has its set of instructions regarding its priming, usage, and cleaning. Make sure to follow the directions and ask a pharmacist or respiratory therapist for instructions in using inhalers properly.

The dosage strength and frequency depend on every patient’s condition and the doctor’s prescription. It is imperative that you do not self-medicate and only use this drug after consulting with your doctor or pharmacist to determine the best dosage and dosing schedule for the treatment of your condition.

What if I missed a dose?

The desired effects of prescribed medications will only be achieved if used properly. As much as possible, strictly follow your doctor’s prescribed dosing schedule. However, if you miss a dose, use it immediately and adjust the time of your next dose depending on your doctor’s advice. Never administer two doses at the same time just to make up for your missed dose.

What are the special precautions before using Incruse Ellipta?

Incruse Ellipta is NOT a rescue medication for acute attacks of COPD. In case of sudden COPD attack, use the rescue inhaler prescribed by your doctor.

Inform your doctor about all the medications you are taking, your current and previous medical history, and any allergic reactions to Incruse Ellipta, milk proteins, or any other ingredients included in the manufacture of this medication.
