- Do you still take Breo Ellipta after you start feeling better?
- Yes. Breo Ellipta will only be effective for as long as you are using it. Unless you are told to stop using Breo Ellipta by your doctor, continue its use or your symptoms might return. Your doctor will change your medicines as needed.2
- What time of the day should you take Breo Ellipta?
-
Because the ingredients in Breo Ellipta are effective for 24 hours, for it to work properly you only need to take it once a day, at the same time every day.
If you miss a dose, and it is almost time for your next dose, skip the dose you missed and use your next dose when you are meant to. Otherwise, use it as soon as you remember, then go back to using it as you would normally. Don't take an extra dose to make up for a missed dose.1,2,5 - Why does the dose counter start on 30?
- The dose counter starts on 30 because it's measuring the number of doses left in the puffer. Each Breo Ellipta puffer contains 30 doses, which, because it's used once each day, gives you a 30-day supply.1,2,8
- What if you miss a dose?
