Overview
Anoro Ellipta is a prescription drug approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as long-term, once-daily maintenance treatment for airflow obstruction in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Anoro Ellipta is a combination drug composed of Umeclidinium and Vilanterol.

Umeclidinium is a long-acting anticholinergic drug. Vilanterol is an ultra-long-acting beta2 adrenoreceptor agonist (ultra-LABA). Both drugs are believed to work by relaxing smooth muscles in the airways.
