The drug BREO ELLIPTA contains a combination of these active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs):
|
1
Fluticasone furoate
UNII JS86977WNV - FLUTICASONE FUROATE
|
|
Fluticasone furoate is a synthetic trifluorinated corticosteroid that possesses a very high affinity for the glucocorticoid receptor and has a potent anti-inflammatory action. |
|
2
Vilanterol
UNII 40AHO2C6DG - VILANTEROL TRIFENATATE
|
|
Vilanterol is a selective long-acting, beta2-adrenergic agonist (LABA). The pharmacologic effects of beta2-adrenoceptor agonist active substances, including vilanterol, are at least in part attributable to stimulation of intracellular adenylate cyclase, the enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to cyclic-3',5'-adenosine monophosphate (cyclic AMP). Increased cyclic AMP levels cause relaxation of bronchial smooth muscle and inhibition of release of mediators of immediate hypersensitivity from cells, especially from mast cells. |
