Uses of Fluticasone Furoate (100mcg) + Vilanterol (25mcg)
Fluticasone Furoate + Vilanterol is used for:
- Asthma Maintenance: Helps reduce inflammation and prevent asthma symptoms in adults and children (depending on approval for age).
- COPD Management: Provides long-term control of airflow obstruction and reduces the frequency of exacerbations in individuals with COPD.
This combination ensures both inflammation control and sustained bronchodilation for improved breathing.
How Does Fluticasone Furoate (100mcg) + Vilanterol (25mcg) Work?
This combination medication works in two complementary ways:
- Fluticasone Furoate: A corticosteroid that reduces inflammation in the airways, decreasing swelling and mucus production. This helps prevent symptoms such as wheezing and difficulty breathing.
- Vilanterol: A long-acting beta2-adrenergic agonist (LABA) that relaxes the muscles around the airways, leading to prolonged bronchodilation. This allows easier airflow and sustained relief from breathing difficulties.
Together, these components provide comprehensive management of respiratory conditions.
How to Use Fluticasone Furoate (100mcg) + Vilanterol (25mcg)
- Dosage: The typical dosage is one inhalation once daily, at the same time each day.
- Administration: Use the inhaler as directed by your doctor. Rinse your mouth with water after use to prevent fungal infections like oral thrush. Do not swallow the rinse water.
- Consistency: Take the medication daily, even when you feel well, to maintain control of asthma or COPD symptoms.
- Missed Dose: If you forget a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it is close to your next scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your usual dosing schedule. Avoid taking extra doses to make up for the missed one.
Follow your healthcare provider’s instructions for proper inhaler technique to ensure optimal delivery of the medication.

Precautions and Warnings
- Asthma-Related Death: LABAs like Vilanterol may increase the risk of asthma-related death when used alone. This combination should only be used for asthma in conjunction with an inhaled corticosteroid.

- Bone Health: Long-term use may reduce bone density; adequate calcium and vitamin D intake is recommended.
- Adrenal Suppression: High doses or prolonged use may suppress adrenal gland function.
- Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Use only if clearly needed and under medical supervision.
