The recommended dosage of BREO ELLIPTA 100/25 mcg (containing fluticasone furoate 100 mcg and vilanterol 25 mcg) is 1 actuation once daily by oral inhalation.

Recommended Dosage for Maintenance Treatment of Asthma

Adult Patients Aged 18 Years and Older

The recommended dosage of BREO ELLIPTA 100/25 mcg (containing fluticasone furoate 100 mcg and vilanterol 25 mcg) is 1 actuation once daily by oral inhalation or BREO ELLIPTA 200/25 mcg (containing fluticasone furoate 200 mcg and vilanterol 25 mcg) is 1 actuation once daily by oral inhalation.

•: When choosing the starting dosage strength of BREO ELLIPTA, consider the patients’ disease severity, their previous asthma therapy, including the inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) dosage, as well as the patients’ current control of asthma symptoms and risk of future exacerbation.
•: The median time to onset, defined as a 100-mL increase from baseline in mean forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1), was approximately 15 minutes after beginning treatment. Individual patients will experience a variable time to onset and degree of symptom relief.
•: For patients who do not respond adequately to BREO ELLIPTA 100/25 mcg once daily, increasing the dose to BREO ELLIPTA 200/25 mcg once daily may provide additional improvement in asthma control. For patients who do not respond adequately to BREO ELLIPTA 200/25 mcg once daily, re-evaluate and consider other therapeutic regimens and additional therapeutic options.
•: The maximum recommended dosage is 1 inhalation of BREO ELLIPTA 200/25 mcg once daily.
•: If asthma symptoms arise in the period between doses, an inhaled, short-acting beta2-agonist (rescue medicine, e.g., albuterol) should be used for immediate relief.
