Step-by-step usage instructions

What is Rolufta Ellipta

Rolufta Ellipta contains the active ingredient umeclidinium (as bromide), which belongs to a group of medications calledbronchodilators.

What is Rolufta Ellipta used for

This medication is used to treatchronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD)in adults. COPD is a chronic disease that worsens gradually, and in which, over time, the airways and lung sacs become obstructed or damaged, causing difficulty breathing. This difficulty breathing is added to the contraction of the muscles surrounding the airways, which causes these airways to narrow and impede airflow.

This medication prevents the contraction of these muscles in the lungs, facilitating the entry and exit of air from the lungs. When used regularly, it helps control breathing difficulties and reduces the effects of COPD on daily life.

Rolufta Ellipta should not be used to relieve a sudden attack of choking or wheezing (whistling sounds while breathing).

If you experience this type of attack, use a rapid-acting rescue inhaler (such as salbutamol). If you do not have a rescue inhaler, contact your doctor.
