Anoro Ellipta contains two molecules specifically selected for their long duration of action, enabling once-daily dosing1-8

Anoro Ellipta contains umeclidinium (a LAMA) and vilanterol (a LABA). These molecules work together to promote bronchodilation: the LAMA blocks bronchoconstriction and the LABA stimulates bronchodilation.1

The LAMA and LABA in Anoro Ellipta work together to promote bronchodilation

Graphic showing how a LAMA (umeclidinium) blocks contraction of airway smooth muscle thereby reducing bronchoconstriction (reference 1) and how a LABA (vilanterol) stimulates relaxation of airway smooth muscle causing bronchodilation (reference 1).
