Why is Relvar Ellipta prescribed?

Relvar Ellipta is a combination inhaler containing two medications that work together to provide effective relief from asthma symptoms.

What does it do?

The two active ingredients in Relvar Ellipta, fluticasone and vilanterol, work in tandem to produce a strong anti-inflammatory effect. Fluticasone is the steroid component, which helps reduce swelling in the lungs (though it won't make you stronger at the gym its focus is on decreasing inflammation).

Vilanterol, a long-acting beta-agonist (LABA), works by relaxing the smooth muscles in the airways. These muscles are involved in lung contraction, so by targeting them, LABAs help improve breathing.

How should I take it?

Each Relvar Ellipta inhaler comes in an airtight foil tray that includes a desiccant sachet to help reduce moisture. You can dispose of the sachet, then simply remove the inhaler from the tray—it’s ready to use. When you first take it out, the inhaler will be in a ‘closed’ position. Do not open it until you're ready to use it, as opening it will release a dose.

It’s recommended to rinse your mouth after each use of the Relvar Ellipta inhaler, as corticosteroid inhalers can sometimes cause minor side effects like a sore throat or dry mouth. If needed, you can clean the mouthpiece by wiping it with a tissue.

What if I missed a dose?

Do not take two doses to make up for a missed dose. Simply take your next dose at the regular time.
