Product Information:
VILANTO-UF 100/62.5/25mcg is a triple-combination dry powder inhaler (DPI) for the maintenance treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in adults. It contains three active ingredients in a single capsule, designed for use with a compatible breath-actuated DPI device (e.g., Breezhaler®):
- Indacaterol Acetate 100mcg – a long-acting beta₂-agonist (LABA) that provides 24-hour bronchodilation
- Glycopyrronium Bromide 62.5mcg – a long-acting muscarinic antagonist (LAMA) that blocks cholinergic bronchoconstriction
- Mometasone Furoate 25mcg – an inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) that reduces airway inflammation
This triple therapy (LABA + LAMA + ICS) is indicated for patients with severe COPD and a history of frequent exacerbations despite dual bronchodilator therapy.
⚠️ Important Note:
This product is for inhalation only—capsules must be used with the appropriate DPI device. Do not swallow the capsule.
Uses of (VILANTO-UF 100+62.5+25mcg):
- Maintenance treatment of severe COPD (FEV₁ <50% predicted)
- Patients with history of ≥2 moderate or ≥1 severe exacerbation per year
- Those not adequately controlled on dual therapy (LABA/LAMA or LABA/ICS)
Key Benefits of (VILANTO-UF 100+62.5+25mcg):
- Triple mechanism: dual bronchodilation + anti-inflammatory action
- Significantly reduces risk of COPD exacerbations
- Improves lung function (FEV₁), dyspnea, exercise tolerance, and quality of life
- Once-daily dosing for consistent 24-hour control
How To Use (VILANTO-UF 100+62.5+25mcg):
- Open the inhaler device and insert one capsule into the chamber.
- Close the device and press the piercing button.
- Breathe out fully (away from the device).
- Place mouthpiece in mouth, seal lips tightly.
- Inhale quickly and deeply through the mouthpiece to draw the powder into the lungs.
- Hold breath for 5–10 seconds, then breathe normally.
- Discard the empty capsule after use.
- Dosage: One capsule once daily at the same time each day
- Not for acute bronchospasm—always carry a rescue inhaler (e.g., salbutamol)
When Not to Use (VILANTO-UF 100+62.5+25mcg):
Do not use if you have:
- Hypersensitivity to indacaterol, glycopyrronium, mometasone, or any excipients
- Asthma (triple therapy with ICS/LABA/LAMA is not approved for asthma)
- Acute COPD exacerbation or respiratory failure
- Untreated active respiratory infections (e.g., tuberculosis, fungal infection)
Side Effects of (VILANTO-UF 100+62.5+25mcg):
Common:
- Cough, throat irritation
- Headache, nasopharyngitis
- Oral candidiasis (thrush)—rinse mouth after use
- Dry mouth (due to glycopyrronium)
Less common:
- Palpitations, tremor (from indacaterol)
- Hoarseness, dysphonia
- Pneumonia (increased risk with ICS in COPD)
Serious (rare):
- Paradoxical bronchospasm—discontinue immediately
- Acute narrow-angle glaucoma (eye pain, blurred vision)—seek emergency care
- Urinary retention (in men with BPH—due to anticholinergic effect)
- Adrenal suppression or cataracts (with long-term ICS use)
- Seek medical help if breathing worsens, eye pain occurs, or signs of pneumonia (fever, increased sputum) develop.
Dosage: (VILANTO-UF 100+62.5+25mcg):
- Adults with severe COPD: One capsule once daily
- Maximum: One capsule per 24 hours
- Not for children or asthma patients
Who It’s For (VILANTO-UF 100+62.5+25mcg):
Adults with severe, symptomatic COPD and a history of exacerbations who remain uncontrolled on dual bronchodilator therapy and require anti-inflammatory add-on treatment.
Warnings & Precautions:
- For inhalation only—do not swallow
- Rinse mouth with water after each use to prevent oral thrush
- Monitor for pneumonia symptoms (common in COPD patients on ICS)
- Use caution in patients with glaucoma, prostate enlargement, or cardiac arrhythmias
- Not a rescue medication—use salbutamol for acute symptoms
Drug Interactions:
- Strong CYP3A4 inhibitors (ketoconazole): May increase systemic corticosteroid exposure
- Beta-blockers: May antagonize indacaterol and induce bronchospasm
- Other anticholinergics: Additive side effects (dry mouth, urinary retention)
- Always inform your doctor about all medications.
