Incruse Ellipta<\/span> is a <\/span>brand name<\/span>, dry powder <\/span>inhaled medication<\/span> that sees extensive use for <\/span>chronic obstructive pulmonary disease<\/span> (COPD)<\/span><\/a>. Those with this <\/span>lung disease<\/span> suffer from cough and <\/span>shortness of breath<\/span>, along with episodic <\/span>flare-ups<\/span> that lead to abrupt <\/span>worsening<\/span>. Medications like <\/span>Incruse Ellipta<\/span>, whose generic name is <\/span>umeclidinium<\/span>, are a foundational element in the <\/span>treatment of COPD<\/span>, including its <\/span>emphysema<\/span> and <\/span>chronic bronchitis<\/span><\/a> subtypes. The goal is to reduce symptoms and lessen the frequency of COPD exacerbations. <\/span>Incruse Ellipta<\/span> is used for long-term <\/span>maintenance treatment<\/span> and should not be used to treat sudden <\/span>breathing problems<\/span> as it is not a <\/span>rescue inhaler<\/span>. If you take <\/span>Incruse Ellipta<\/span>, you may find yourself looking for alternatives due to cost, difficulty with the <\/span>inhaler<\/span> mechanism, or <\/span>side effects of Incruse Ellipta<\/span>. We will review your other options here.<\/span><\/p>\n
