Anoro Ellipta FAQs
Can Anoro Ellipta cause thrush?
You should rinse your mouth after using an inhaled corticosteroid to prevent the risk of oral thrush, or fungal infections in the mouth. Because this does not contain a corticosteroid, oral thrush is not a concern. However, it may cause a mild sore throat as a side effect.
Is Anoro Ellipta a steroid?
It is not a steroid. This product contains umeclidinium, an anticholinergic, and vilanterol, a long-acting beta-agonist (LABA). In some people with more severe COPD, treatment with an inhaled corticosteroid in addition to Anoro Ellipta may be recommended. An example of an inhaled corticosteroid that treats COPD is fluticasone, otherwise known by the brand name Flovent.
Can Anoro Ellipta treat asthma?
It is not approved to treat asthma. In addition, it is a maintenance medication. It should not be used to treat acute symptoms of COPD. Patients with asthma will require a different medication to manage their symptoms.
