INCRUSE ELLIPTA (umeclidinium bromide)

Respiratory Approved 2014-04-30

Incruse Ellipta (umeclidinium) is an anticholinergic indicated for the long-term, once-daily maintenance treatment of airflow obstruction in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), including chronic bronchitis and emphysema. It is intended for maintenance therapy and is not indicated for the relief of acute bronchospasm.

How INCRUSE ELLIPTA Works

Umeclidinium is a long-acting muscarinic antagonist (LAMA), often referred to as an anticholinergic. It provides bronchodilation by competitively and reversibly inhibiting M3 receptors in the smooth muscle of the airways. This site-specific antagonism prevents acetylcholine-induced bronchoconstriction, providing a clinical effect that lasts longer than 24 hours.
