Overview

Arnuity Ellipta is a proprietary asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) management drug. The active (main) ingredient of this medicine is fluticasone furoate, a type of steroid. The medicine comes in the form of a dry powder inhaler called the Ellipta inhaler which is user friendly and easy to carry around. Arnuity Ellipta belongs to a group of drugs known as inhaled corticosteroids (ICS).

 

 ICS are medications which alleviate symptoms of COPD and prevent asthma attack by reducing inflammation.


The use of Arnuity Ellipta is not meant to be used for the purposes of treating acute exacerbation of asthma or COPD. It aims, instead, to control the condition for long periods of time so that the number and intensity of episodes over the season are lower since a certain anti inflammatory effect is kept in the lungs for a long time.
