Relvar Ellipta is an Inhaled Corticosteroid (ICS) and Long-Acting Beta2-Agonist (LABA) combination therapy used to maintain open airways in patients with chronic lung conditions. In the UK, respiratory diseases remain a significant health challenge, with asthma affecting approximately 8% of the population (around 7.2 million people), making consistent management with therapies like Relvar essential for reducing emergency hospital admissions.

The active ingredients in this inhaler are fluticasone furoate, a potent anti-inflammatory corticosteroid, and vilanterol, a long-acting bronchodilator. These two components work in tandem to provide 24-hour coverage, helping to reduce the swelling in the small air passages and keeping the muscles in the lungs relaxed to facilitate easier breathing.

Many users report that the once-daily dosing schedule of the Ellipta device significantly improves their treatment adherence compared to inhalers that require twice-daily administration. Research indicates that the Ellipta device is highly rated for ease of use, with over 90% of patients in clinical trials finding the three-step "open, inhale, close" process simple to master.

The Patient Information Leaflet (PIL) provides comprehensive details regarding the safe use of your medication and is included in every box of Relvar Ellipta. You should read this document thoroughly before starting your treatment, as it contains vital information on storage, usage, and safety provided by the manufacturer.

Relvar Ellipta works by combining a preventative "shield" and a long-term "opener" to manage the underlying causes of respiratory distress. The fluticasone furoate reduces inflammation and mucus production in the lungs, while vilanterol stimulates beta2-receptors to relax airway muscles, preventing the constriction that leads to wheezing and chest tightness.

1. Open: Slide the cover down until you hear a "click" to expose the mouthpiece and load the dose.
2. Exhale: Breathe out fully away from the inhaler. Never breathe into the device.
3. Inhale: Place the mouthpiece between your lips and take one long, steady, deep breath in.
4. Hold: Remove the inhaler and hold your breath for about 3 to 4 seconds.
5. Close: Slide the cover back up over the mouthpiece to protect the device.

The standard dosage for Relvar Ellipta is one inhalation once daily, taken at the same time each day to maintain consistent levels of medication in the system. It is available in two strengths, 92/22 micrograms and 184/22 micrograms, and your prescriber will determine the appropriate strength based on the severity of your asthma or COPD symptoms.

Like all medications, Relvar Ellipta may cause side effects, although not everyone will experience them. Common side effects often include:

• Headaches
• Common cold symptoms (nasopharyngitis)
• Oral thrush (fungal infection in the mouth)
• Pain or irritation in the throat
• Sinusitis

Rinsing your mouth with water after use can help reduce the risk of developing oral thrush.

Relvar Ellipta is not a rescue medication and should not be used to treat an acute asthma attack or sudden onset of breathlessness. You must always have a separate fast-acting "reliever" inhaler (such as Salbutamol) available for emergencies. Inform your prescriber if you have a history of heart problems, high blood pressure, or eye conditions like glaucoma before starting this treatment.

Can I use Relvar Ellipta for sudden breathlessness?

No, Relvar Ellipta is a maintenance treatment and will not work quickly enough to stop a sudden asthma attack.

What should I do if I miss a dose?

If you miss a dose, take your next dose at the usual scheduled time the following day. Do not take a double dose.

Do I need a prescription to order Relvar Ellipta?

Yes, Relvar Ellipta is a prescription-only medication in the UK and requires a clinical assessment by a healthcare professional.
