Information
For patients with chronic bronchitis, Incruse Ellipta is indicated to reduce the frequency of exacerbations (flare ups), improve symptoms and reduce oral corticosteroid use in appropriate patients.
Incruse Ellipta may be taken with or without food.
Do not drink grapefruit juice while taking Incruse Ellipta. Grapefruit juice can increase the amount of Incruse Ellipta in your body, which could make it more likely that you will have side effects such as abdominal pain and shortness of breath. Do not take any other inhaled medications while using Incruse Ellipta unless approved by your doctor.
Alcohol should be avoided while you are taking Incruse Ellipta because alcohol can cause dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting and other serious side effects when combined with this medication. You should also avoid getting Incruse Ellipta in your eyes, nose or mouth as this may lead to serious eye irritation that could cause vision problems including blurred vision and even blindness if it goes untreated for a long time

It is also used to reduce the frequency of asthma flare-ups in adults with moderate to severe COPD who are not using inhaled steroid medication.
This medication comes as a powder that you breathe in through a nebulizer and into your lungs, usually twice daily for as long as you need it; however, your doctor may prescribe other dosing regimens depending on how well the drug works for you.
Each dose of Incruse Ellipta is administered via an inhaler that contains a pressurized canister filled with dry powder medication that breaks apart when it reaches high enough pressure inside the airways so it can be absorbed into the lungs.

The following inactive ingredients are contained in the inhaler:
• alpha-tocopherol (vitamin E) capsule
