Interactions
7 DRUG INTERACTIONS • Strong cytochrome P450 3A4 inhibitors (e.g., ketoconazole): Use with caution. May cause systemic corticosteroid and cardiovascular effects. ( 7.1 ) • Monoamine oxidase inhibitors and tricyclic antidepressants: Use with extreme caution. May potentiate effect of vilanterol on cardiovascular system. ( 7.2 ) • Beta-blockers: Use with caution. May block bronchodilatory effects of beta-agonists and produce severe bronchospasm. ( 7.3 ) • Diuretics: Use with caution. Electrocardiographic changes and/or hypokalemia associated with non–potassium-sparing diuretics may worsen with concomitant beta-agonists. ( 7.4 ) 7.1 Inhibitors of Cytochrome P450 3A4 Fluticasone furoate and vilanterol are both substrates of CYP3A4.
Warnings
5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS • LABA monotherapy increases the risk of serious asthma-related events. ( 5.1 ) • Do not initiate in acutely deteriorating COPD or asthma. Do not use to treat acute symptoms. ( 5.2 ) • Do not use in combination with additional therapy containing a LABA because of risk of overdose. ( 5.3 ) • Candida albicans infection of the mouth and pharynx may occur. Monitor patients periodically. Advise the patient to rinse his/her mouth with water without swallowing after inhalation to help reduce the risk. ( 5.4 ) • Increased risk of pneumonia in patients with COPD. Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of pneumonia. ( 5.5 ) • Potential worsening of infections (e.g., existing tuberculosis; fungal, bacterial, viral, or parasitic infections; ocular herpes simplex). 4 CONTRAINDICATIONS BREO ELLIPTA is contraindicated in the following conditions: • Primary treatment of status asthmaticus or other acute episodes of COPD or asthma where intensive measures are required [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 )] .
Pregnancy
8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary There are insufficient data on the use of BREO ELLIPTA or its individual components, fluticasone furoate and vilanterol, in pregnant women to inform a drug-associated risk. (See Clinical Considerations.) In an animal reproduction study, fluticasone furoate and vilanterol administered by inhalation alone or in combination to pregnant rats during the period of organogenesis produced no fetal structural abnormalities.
Storage
16 HOW SUPPLIED/STORAGE AND HANDLING BREO ELLIPTA is supplied as a disposable light grey and pale blue plastic inhaler containing 2 foil strips, each with 30 blisters (or 14 blisters for the institutional pack).
