About Incruse Ellipta
What is this medication?
Incruse Ellipta is a prescription medication that contains the active ingredient umeclidinium, which belongs to a class of drugs known as long-acting muscarinic antagonists. It is specifically designed for the daily maintenance treatment of airflow obstruction in adults with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, also known as COPD. This condition encompasses chronic respiratory issues such as emphysema and chronic bronchitis. The medication works by relaxing the muscles around the airways in the lungs, which helps to keep them open and makes breathing easier for patients on a long-term basis.
This medication is administered through oral inhalation using a dry powder inhaler device called the Ellipta. It is intended to be used once every day at the same time to provide continuous control of symptoms like coughing, wheezing, and shortness of breath. It is important to understand that Incruse Ellipta is not a rescue inhaler and should not be used to treat sudden, acute breathing problems. If a patient experiences a sudden attack of breathlessness, they must use a separate fast-acting rescue medication as prescribed by their healthcare provider.

For your exact plan, check its Summary of Benefits or log in to your Medicare.gov account. Copay cards don't apply to Medicare (federal law).
