Anoro medication details: Forms, strengths, usage, and additional information
In the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in adults, the recommended dosage for Anoro Ellipta is one inhalation once a day. This medication, a brand-name drug, is designed for once-daily maintenance treatment to control COPD symptoms over the long term.
The inhaler comes with a fixed dose strength, meaning dosing adjustments are not typically applicable. Patients should use one inhalation per day at the prescribed strength only. It's essential to use the inhaler at approximately the same time each day and not more frequently than prescribed to avoid overdose.
Anoro Ellipta is not recommended for children and is intended for adult use only. The inhaler has a counter that starts at 30 doses and turns red when there are less than 10 doses left, indicating the need to order more.
If you have questions about the dosage of Anoro Ellipta that's best for you, consult your doctor. To help remember to take Anoro Ellipta, use a medication reminder such as setting an alarm, putting a note somewhere visible, or downloading a reminder app on your phone.
Overdose effects of Anoro Ellipta can include dry mouth, constipation, trouble urinating, increased heart rate, changes in blood pressure, seizures, nervousness, muscle cramps, dizziness, trouble sleeping, and more.
