Fluticasone Furoate-Umeclidinium-Vilanterol Uses

This inhaler is prescribed to:

  • Manage symptoms of COPD, such as shortness of breath, wheezing, and coughing.
  • Reduce the frequency and severity of COPD exacerbations.
  • Improve overall lung function and quality of life in individuals with COPD.

How Does Fluticasone Furoate-Umeclidinium-Vilanterol Work

  • Fluticasone Furoate: Reduces inflammation in the airways, decreasing swelling and mucus production.
  • Umeclidinium: Relaxes airway muscles by blocking muscarinic receptors, helping to keep airways open.
  • Vilanterol: Stimulates beta-2 receptors in the lungs, relaxing airway muscles and improving airflow.
    This triple-action mechanism provides long-lasting relief from COPD symptoms.

How to Use Fluticasone Furoate-Umeclidinium-Vilanterol

  • Use the inhaler exactly as prescribed by your doctor, typically once daily at the same time each day.
  • Exhale fully, then place the mouthpiece in your mouth and inhale deeply. Hold your breath for a few seconds, then exhale slowly.
  • Rinse your mouth with water after use to reduce the risk of oral thrush caused by the corticosteroid component.
