Breo PI Flashcards
What are the contraindications for Breo
Severe hypersensitivity to milk proteins
Hypersensitivity to either FF, vilanterol or any excipients of Breo Ellipta
What is the dosing and administration of Breo
1 inhalation once daily by the orally inhaled route only.
Taken the same time everyday
Not to be used more than 1 time every 24 hours.
Mouth should be rinsed with water without swallowing to help reduce the risk of oropharyngeal candidiasis
No dosage adjustment is required for geriatric patients, patients with hepatic impairment, or renally impaired patients.
What are the 16 warnings and precautions
Asthma related death Deterioration of disease acute episodes Excessive use of Breo Ellipta and use with other LABAs Local effects of inhaled corticosteroids Pneumonia Imunosupression Transferring patients from systemic corticosteroids therapy Hypercorticism and adrenal suppression Drug interactions with strong cytochrome p450 3A4 inhibitors Paradoxical bronchospasm Hypersensitivity reactions Cardiovascular effects Reduction in BMD Glaucoma and cataracts Coexisting conditions Hypokalemia and hyperglycemia
What should CYP 3A4 inhibitors be used with caution?
The following may occur
Increase systemic corticosteroid effect increase cardiovascular effects
What do you do with paradoxical bronchi spasm
Immediate treatment with short acting bronchodilator
Immediate discontinuation of Breo Ellipta
Initiation of alternative therapy
Cardiovascular effects seem with Breo
Increased pulse rate
Systolic or diastolic blood pressure
Cardiac arrhythmia and extrasystoles
If such effects occur Breo may need to be discontinued.
Electrocardiograph is changes have been reported with beta agonist use
Bone mineral density
If patient has significant reductions in BMD and treatment with Breo Ellipta is medically necessary then osteoporosis treatment should be strongly considered.
