Anoro Ellipta (Umeclidinium Bromide/Vilanterol Trifenatate) is a long-term treatment for patients experience breathing difficulties due to COPD, which is a lung disease. It may also be used to help patients with chronic bronchitis and emphysema. Anoro Ellipta contains two active ingredients: umeclidinium, which is a long-acting muscarinic antagonist and vilanterol, which is a long-acting beta agonist.
