What is Incruse Ellipta used for?
Incruse Ellipta is often prescribed for long-term maintenance treatment of Bronchospasm, which is associated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a chronic inflammatory lung disease that impairs the airflow out of your lungs. Symptoms include breathing difficulty, cough, mucus (sputum) production and wheezing.
Bronchitis and Emphysema are the two most common conditions that contribute to COPD.
When you have Bronchitis, your bronchial tubes become inflamed and narrowed, and your lungs produce more mucus, which can further block the narrowed tubes. You develop a chronic cough trying to clear your airways.
Emphysema occurs when the walls between the air sacs in your lungs become damaged and lose their elasticity. As the walls of the air sacs also sustain damage, instead of many tiny air sacs, there are fewer but larger ones that reduce the amount of gas exchange.
Because Incruse Ellipta is a long-term maintenance medication, it can end up being costly. You can buy Incruse Ellipta (Umeclidinium) online at My Drug Center at an affordable price. You can also buy the Incruse Ellipta generic as well, called Umeclidinium. The Umeclidinium generic is less costly because it is not a brand-name drug. With proper management, most people with COPD can achieve symptom control and quality of life, as well as reduced risk of other associated conditions.

How does Incruse Ellipta work?
Incruse Ellipta is indicated for long-term, once-daily treatment to reduce exacerbations in COPD patients. Incruse Ellipta is a medication that comes in the form of inhalation powders for oral inhalation and contains the active ingredient Umeclidinium. When the Umeclidinium dosage is inhaled, it is taken straight into the lungs, where it blocks the receptors that are found on the muscle surrounding your airways. This action stops acetylcholine from acting on the receptors that cause the muscle to narrow and make it difficult to breathe.
