BREO ELLIPTA 100/25 is also indicated to reduce exacerbations of COPD in patients with a history of exacerbations. BREO ELLIPTA 100/25 once daily is the only strength indicated for the treatment of COPD. Important Limitation of Use BREO ELLIPTA is NOT indicated for the relief of acute bronchospasm 1.2 Treatment of Asthma BREO ELLIPTA is indicated for the once-daily treatment of asthma in patients aged 18 years and older. BREO ELLIPTA should be used for patients not adequately controlled on a long-term asthma control medication such as an inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) or whose disease warrants initiation of treatment with both an ICS and long-acting beta2-adrenergic agonist (LABA). Important Limitation of Use BREO ELLIPTA is NOT indicated for the relief of acute bronchospasm. 2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION BREO ELLIPTA should be administered as 1 inhalation once daily by the orally inhaled route only. BREO ELLIPTA should be used at the same time every day. Do not use BREO ELLIPTA more than 1 time every 24 hours. After inhalation, the patient should rinse his/her mouth with water without swallowing to help reduce the risk of oropharyngeal candidiasis. More frequent administration or a greater number of inhalations (more than 1 inhalation daily) of the prescribed strength of BREO ELLIPTA is not recommended as some patients are more likely 2 Reference ID: 4372035 to experience adverse effects with higher doses. Patients using BREO ELLIPTA should not use additional LABA for any reason. [See
