Relvar Ellipta is an effective treatment for severe asthma and COPD. Relvar Ellipta has a combination of corticosteroid and bronchodilator ingredients. Together, they help reduce the inflammation and irritation in the airways to the lungs and allow the patient to breathe more freely.

Relvar Ellipta is usually prescribed to people who don't find relief even after using a regular corticosteroid inhaler (preventive remedy) and a reliever inhaler (e.g. salbutamol). When used regularly every day, even when you don't have symptoms, Relvar Ellipta can help control severe asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disorders (COPD) such as emphysema and chronic bronchitis.  

This medication is effective even for people who experience repeated breathlessness attacks, despite bronchodilators and corticosteroid inhalers.  

Relvar Ellipta is an effective medication for asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disorders (COPD). This medication contains two active ingredients, namely, fluticasone (corticosteroid) and vilanterol. Corticosteroids are naturally occurring chemicals that help in reducing inflammation in the lungs. Fluticasone is a synthetic version of corticosteroid hormones to induce the same effect. The other ingredient, vilanterol, is a long-acting beta 2 agonist that helps relax muscles in your lungs and airways, allowing you to breathe freely.  

Relvar Ellipta inhaler is prescribed to treat asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disorders (COPD). There are various benefits of using Relvar ElliptaSome of them are listed below:

  • Relvar Ellipta helps to clear the lungs' airways and allows you to breathe more easily in Asthma and COPD.
  • Relvar Ellipta contains two effective ingredients for the treatment of Asthma and COPD.
  • This medication is also effective when other asthma medicines containing corticosteroids and short-acting beta 2 agonists have proven ineffective.
  • Relvar Ellipta is also helpful to people suffering from repeated flare-ups of COPD conditions, despite regular treatment. 
  • The effect of this medication lasts for up to twenty-four hours.
