Arnuity Ellipta
Arnuity Ellipta is an inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) containing fluticasone furoate. It is used for the once-daily maintenance treatment of asthma to help prevent and control asthma symptoms by reducing inflammation in the airways. It is not a rescue medication and should not be used to treat acute bronchospasm.
