Breo is indicated for the maintenance treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), including chronic bronchitis and emphysema, as well as asthma in adults requiring combination therapy.
This combination product contains fluticasone furoate (an inhaled corticosteroid that reduces airway inflammation) and vilanterol (a long-acting beta2-agonist that relaxes smooth muscles in the airways to improve breathing). Together, they provide anti-inflammatory and bronchodilator effects.
Breo is not a rescue inhaler and should not be used for sudden breathing problems. It carries a boxed warning that LABAs increase the risk of asthma-related death. Patients should rinse mouth after use to prevent oral thrush. Dosage is typically one inhalation once daily at the same time each day.
