Continued breathlessness on exertion is proven to compromise patients’ daily life

  • 70%–74% of patients with mild or moderate breathlessness experience limitations in routine activities, such as walking to the shops 1
  • COPD may eventually limit patient mobility both inside and outside of the home, and is associated with feelings of panic, anxiety and depression 23
  • Around 40% of patients are forced to retire early due to their symptoms 4

Indication

Incruse Ellipta (umeclidinium) is indicated as a maintenance bronchodilator treatment to relieve symptoms in adult patients with COPD. 4
