How to Use an Ellipta Inhaler

[@MTYi]

Thank you for taking the time to perform this instructional video. Neither my GP or my pharmacist gave me any instructions on how to use Breo. You’ve helped so much thank you!

[@MedVize]

Glad this was helpful!

[@francesallison7672]

I was given one of these inhalers was that an explanation on how to work it. I am so incredibly glad I found your video. Turns out for 19 dosis I've been doing it wrong. But now I'm doing it right thank you so much

[@MelissaStarfall]

U explained this better then the pharmacy

[@jjcolombian]

MedVize! This video was awesome. I just used it to show a patient how to use the device. I was disappointed to find you have not more videos. Make more! Thank you.

[@Slinkylabcat]

I like your video, MedVise. I've recently been diagnosed with COPD. And told by my physician it doesn't go away. He gave me a two-week sample of Anoro/Ellipta. It seems to work. No wheezing, coughing. Score one for chemistry.

[@vonballmoosd]

Great video I just want to add that you should breathe in much deeper while inhaling the medication and hold your breathe for up to 10 seconds (if you can). I can also taste/feel the medication so some do. Thanks again!

[@laurifowler4424]

Good to know that you could taste/feel it. I just used my sample for the first time..I could taste and feel it. Felt like little tiny pill pieces. I was worried until you said that!

[@ChezzvanderVos96]

Seconding what they said. I can feel and taste it too so I’m glad you said that!

[@catfishm.1361]

Was going to add my experience 2! But you already said it, it has a sweet aftertaste like artificial sweeteners. So I’m glad it’s supposed to be rinsed out after using. Diana vB. 👍🏻

[@jacquelineyhap3593]

Every explicit. Very understanding and well domonstrsted. Thank

[@hodlcro4dlife661]

I was told by the Pulmonary doctor to rinse your mouth immediately do to the residue can cause infections

[@valbabcock9754]

Great information! It really helped me. I was nervous to use this inhaler but you made it really easy. The video was fun to watch as well.Thank you!

[@BikJTube]

Thanks bud, From a guy suffering from asthma since I was a kid.

[@sooofunny37]

[@annetteslife]

I just started Breo last week and it has been a lifesaver. I noticed my asthma got better after the first dose

[@vikkiincc]

Me too!! I use a nebulizer with albuterol, Spiriva respimat, & Breo. The Breo was a little funky with the powder on my tongue but it works. Be well.

[@annetteslife]

@@vikkiincc thank you. Like I usually tell people just because one product works for me it doesn't mean it will work for everyone else. I am glad it is working for you

[@georgehny]

Switching from Symbicort inhaler which, as you know, very different operation wise. I appreciate your video, it helps to be comfortable with new inhaler operation before starting use. Thanks again, George in NY

[@annetteslife]

I did the same thing. I was on Symbicort for many years and just made the switch to Breo last week and noticed a significant improvement in my asthma after the first dose

[@hawkeye1836]

Richard, great job on the video brother, I had been taking Symbicort forever, and was very nervous about changing to Breo, your video help my nerves, and understanding, Thankx man. Keep up the good work, you have the personality for it.

[@MedVize]

Thank you!

[@MartinIDavies]

informative and well presented.. thanks for taking the time to make and post

[@flymybabybird]

Thank you for taking your time to show how to use these inhalers . Also,thanks for your sense of humour( much appreciated).

[@soprecious1981]

Just got mine today thanks for this upload

[@KiltedTechie]

Thanks I just got one with no instructions on usage. they spent too much time on the other option, I was not sure I got my dose today, this was a big help

[@catherinemurphy6771]

Brilliant video. Just diagnosed with Asthma. Found this so helpful as I was not shown how to use it only given a few tips. Glad I found your video. Your so natural and funny Thank you.

[@tanyalysha7844]

It was amazing, the way you demonstrated how to use it, even with a little demo break you was really helpful in guidance. Thanks dear and God bless you.

[@MedVize]

Glad it was helpful! Take care!

[@franfinne9673]

Thank you for your help using this inhaler..Very clear and informative.

[@V3ntilator]

Perfect explanation. It's important to clean mouth with water afterwards.

[@yvetteduncan8743]

Best video I’ve seen about this inhaler. Thanks

[@briantaylor806]

Very informative. This is the first time I will be taking thing and your video made me less anxious. Thank you for your time 😁

[@MarcelaLopez-ls5ut]

Thank you!! Is my first time using this inhaler you’re tutoring was very clear, and helpful 😊

[@mikemike-kf6ym]

Simple Crystal Clear instructions.

[@rhofernandez5346]

Thank you for the instructions. My doctor just gave me a sample of this and I have to go KZbin how to take it. Thank you.

[@vivfisher7214]

Thank you Richard was given this with no information, love your video!!

[@annmariebarnett6515]

You have been a great help thanks a million

[@BernardCurran123]

THANK YOU BRILLIANT DEMONSTRATION

[@heatsann4456]

Very thorough thank you ❤️❤️

[@helenaromero2039]

Hey ; you made this very important video so much fun, easy to use & verbal instructions were delivered so simply; my asthma has become worse as I get older & my pulmonary Dr. suggested I try a new RX; you made may day; obviously I have no life except my asthma & walking my 118 lb Malamute; it will be nice to breathe as I go outside in heavily polluted CA ]

[@daviddawson8361]

Very clear Thank you!

[@shewanamiyienda6872]

Thank you this is so super easy from another video I seen!

[@Shaneebug25]

Omg...I’ve wasted two doses trying to figure out the Breo contraption. Thank you so much for this video

[@nonanaw4540]

Same here but question when I inhaled is this mean inhaled more than a dose

[@mab06]

Thanks. The instructions for doing this are maddeningly ambiguous and I'm not sure you have entirely solved it. The big question for me is as to whether the vent should be facing down and, if it is, would powder be lost? The patient leaflet shows it facing up, but you show it facing down. The patient leaflet implies a sort of sleight at hand wherbye the inhaler is twisted to get the vent on top and the counter on the bottom. That is topologiocally impossible as they are on the same side. I saw another video where they obviously made a quick cut to turn the inhaler over. The fact that the leaflet is so shoddy makes me wonder about the chemistry!

[@akhiljain1429]

Hi..what would be best time to take this inhaler? After food in the morning/evening or before food? Or can it be taken at any time?

[@lauriegagnon4102]

Great video

[@DJChinChin]

Thanks this demonstration helps better.

[@Faiith1964]

I was given this today with instructions and demonstration by the nurse

[@lovedabunny]

Thank you!

[@americanpaisareturns9051]

Very informative and funny. Thank you.

[@masongarnett717]

Informative. Thank you doc you answered the question I had

[@SuzyQ1956]

I just opened my inhaler, I did like you instructed, I’m not sure I got the medicine, I didn’t taste or feel anything, I hope I did it right, I tried twice now it says 28, I’ve never had an inhaler like this. Thank you

[@MRS.CORINNE]

Thanks so much

[@kleberayala6124]

Do you think that is neccesary use it everyday single day,or just when I need it ?

[@MedVize]

This medication has to be taken every day to be effective. It's not for use only when you need it. You should have a different inhaler for use in emergencies that you would use as needed. But Breo is intended to be used everyday.

[@kleberayala6124]

@@MedVize thanks appreciate.

[@zabinabdulla5848]

Thank you- very helpful

[@nonanaw4540]

If you open twice and number goes down by 2numbers and you inhale does this mean you had an overdose. As not familiar with it BH mistake opened it twice

[@nickthagreat2634]

Very helpful ty

[@hopesy12u4]

You said that it wouldnt taste like medicine at 4:25 But it does. It's like breathing in powder which is really annoying. And the powder tastes sweet. And I dont see Breo or Arnuity written anywhere on the inhaler. My inhaler looks exactly like your one.

[@ImpulseOfficialE4L]

While using the ellipta inhaler can i use my albuterol inhaler if i still feel like i cant breathe?

[@MedVize]

Yes, you can still use your rescue inhaler if you feel like you are having an asthma attack.

[@YesRelax]

Should i rinse my mouth with water?

[@lyfe415]

You said you not going to feel anything when you inhale but i felt the powder when i inhale? is that normal?

[@MedVize]

It is possible that you may have felt the powder. But sometimes you may not. Make sure not to take extra doses even if you don't feel any powder.

[@atxgirlnscrubbs]

Thank You SO Much…

[@conniedoan6917]

Unlike other inhalers , it is not an aerosol. It is a powder. That is why I tasted it and felt it. My doctor said it was not a steroid inhaler , but I rinse my mouth anyway.

[@denzcyrellalmuete7885]

I want to ask how long should i use this kind of inhaler.

[@AnnaBanana-rq9vh]

What does your doctor say?

[@Katie-vy5rd]

I can't breath it in without coughing.. what to do?

[@margarethealy2980]

Really useful. Thank you, Richard. Loved the little outtake at the end😆👍🏼

[@bergoussi]

Thank you so much for this video, my mom felt some powder 2 times but doesn’t feel anything most of the time! Is this normal not to feel anything at all?

[@MedVize]

It's normal not to feel anything at all. Your mom is lucky to have you taking care of her.

[@bergoussi]

@@MedVize thank you so much

[@lessiamerino1879]

Thank you so much 😊

[@مقاطعمتنوعة-ت4ن]

I have been diagnosed with bronchial asthma, is it a permanent disease?

[@emeraldkei]

One question please if i use the ellipta and i am still wheezing an hour later can i use the pump?

[@AzureenAzlan]

emeraldkei yes there is no problem to use your rescue inhaler at anytime.

[@franfinne9673]

Yes you can use your pump inhaler or nebulizer as well if needed.. if you can allow 30 min. in between the uses.

[@vincekhoo870]

On serval occasions, I found that the "cover" just won't fully stay down when fully cocked. When this happens, I have to wait until I use another new dispenser. Will this malfunction reduces the prescripted doses to be dispensed from this device?

[@arknnn1]

Thanks

[@alematalay734]

Thank you

[@adrianacavazos8757]

How much time can this medicine be used? And how to stop using it¿

[@lukek3953]

My doctor prescribed this inhaler to me today, but it says this inhaler is good until September 2022. That's like more than 6 weeks.. am I missing something here? :D

[@mandyallan9579]

I’m new to this inhaler, I have trelegy Elliot’s, each time I take it and breathe in, I cough and nealy lose my breath?

[@GeneralCheezyPr0ductionz]

I love that medicine ❤️

[@ZorkaKovacevich]

Google your type of inhaler and find videos that are available made by the drug companies themselves. That's the best way to learn how to use any medication.

[@rakanalbarakati8976]

Thank you (:

[@joeharney135]

thks bro

[@marioserpri7739]

Two other points: the machine is for left handed people? Or the 7 demonstrators I saw are wrongly doing his demos? (and to me is the second hipo. The vent must be positioned down, to avoyd nose humid air. But... the lab is responsible for the misuse? No!) Other observation: some demonstrators point the machine to their tongues. It increases the med loss, or not? Three, all demonstrators use some sort of ID card... Why? To assign they are not actors?

[@conniedoan6917]

I just started on the Anuro Ellipta , I DID feel it and taste it. Yuck!

[@nicholehikes]

Why do I feel powder on my tongue/back of mouth???

[@AnnaBanana-rq9vh]

Because there’s powder on your tongue/back of mouth

[@marymastromauro8164]

Trellegy is very expensive

[@EddyFerrera]

Does my tongue stop the powder?

[@EddyFerrera]

Only Child life same here man so idk if I’m doing it right

[@MedVize]

Once your tongue is not blocking the mouth piece and you are able to inahle your tongue should not prevent it from getting to your lungs.

[@jeffreysfinds7474]

Awesome video I love it when you got some scummy music playing while you're talking isn't that a great idea trying to listen to someone talk well they got s***** ass scummy music playing a brain surgeon must have came up with this system

[@GeneralCheezyPr0ductionz]

Bitch , they got my name on the computer . I take too many medications including dick pills to be carrying around a box . Stfu

[@kaleidoscopekali7410]

I don’t understand what you mean with mouth infection? What could do the cortison? I got a lot of médication that i just want to put in the trash!! There is cortisone everywhere in this crap !! If you work for gsk i hope you don’t sell poison or placebo cause cortison make me sick...

[@MedVize]

I do not work for GSK, this video is to help people understand how to take this medication that was prescribed for them. The infection this can cause is called oral thrush.

[@Comenter0999]

My doctor got rid of my recuse inhaler and gave me this shit 🤦🏾‍♀️

[@MedVize]

You should probably double check with your doctor that you don't need a rescue inhaler. Usually you should still have one and only use in emergencies.

[@cheryl8280]

Hold in for 10 seconds and have a drink of water when finished inhaling. At least that's what my GP told me. Thanks for the info. I appreciate you sharing. Good health and hugs from Canada!

[@catfishm.1361]

Bob, no, do not drink the water, your supposed to spit it back out. You do not want the steroid medication to go to your stomach! You were told wrong, it says it on the box, you rinse and spit it out! 😱

[@larry-kp9sp]

Don't think you are supposed to swallow.. rinse and spit first, then drink your water

[@elizabethG633]

YOu forgot Treligy.

[@jimpokorny4598]

I like that Trelegy, it worked, I noticed the difference the 1st inhalation. I slept well no wheezing.

[@tonikakaigler7655]

The "Machine" costs a million, the med probably only a cent. That's 'add value' tactics in action, you silly! Point one, you can't see what you get for your zillion; two, almost half of the dose remains in your mouth, ie is unused; three, you can't controle nothing: the machine owes you, but you pay for it. Zillions!

[@nickbrown3571]

What a scam product. It's expensive and it destroys itself if you use when you need it. Garbage

[@marialujanfelscher3054]

Annoying music.

[@dicklongmire6836]

The problem I have with GlaxoSmithKline is this is basically the same combination asthma\copd medication as their Advair which the patent recently expired allowing for other pharmaceutical companies to compete in generic form and eat at their market share. Now enter the new Breo Ellipta so they can continue to get top dollar with only a fraction of the similar medications (Breo has 30 inhaled doses while Advair diskus has 120) and market it to the consumer as a more convent once per day dose yet you’re still paying the same as Advair?

[@MedVize]

These are similar but not the same. Advair has Fluticasone and Salmeterol Where as Breo has Fluticasone and Vilanterol. The second drug Vilanterol allows the medication to be once a day now instead of multiple times a day like Advair.

[@dicklongmire6836]

MedVise I'm grateful to have a good job with good health insurance however I am a huge advocate for keeping medication costs down for people without means especially the elderly living on fixed income. While I understand GSK as well as others have programs to assist people without means, still not everyone qualifies. Breo is $350 per one 30 day supply however could have easily reduced the cost by over 40% due to the actual cost of manufacturing and combining these combination medications and yet sill maintain their high profit margin via more accessible sales. I have also read countless reviews on Breo, Advair, Symbicort and Dulera and everyone seems to have different success with each including long term use ineffectiveness resulting in the need to switch brands which is what many seem to experience including myself. Only in the US is the price for drugs like these insanely out of control and unfortunately out of reach for people who really need but cannot afford them.

[@dicklongmire6836]

I also wanted to add that this is a very common and misleading practice among pharmaceutical companies in aeffort to keep top dollar revenue flowing in. Take AstraZeneca's Prilosec and Nexium for example. When the patent ran out on Prilosec, they rushed to release Nexium which is identical in effectiveness and 99.9% in chemical makeup. This time, they pushed and were approved by the FDA to market the drug as a healer of esophagus damage but in reality, all PPI's do the very same thing by reducing the main problem which is acid reflux however through the magic of marketing, it mislead consumers to believe Nexium had added healing powers over other PPIs. It all comes down to the power of slight misleading marketing and pharmaceutical companies are well versed.
