…conditions, non-fatal myocardial infarction, non-fatal acute myocardial infarction, and adjudicated on-treatment death due to cardiovascular events, was 2.2 per 100 patient-years for fluticasone furoate/umeclidinium/vilanterol 100/62.5/25 mcg (n = 4,151), 1.9 per 100 patient-years for fluticasone furoate/vilanterol 100/25 mcg (n = 4,134), and 2.2 per 100 patient-years…

Adjudicated on‑treatment deaths due to cardiovascular events occurred in 20 of 4,151 patients (0.54 per 100 patient-years) receiving fluticasone furoate/umeclidinium/vilanterol, 27 of 4,134 patients (0.78 per 100 patient-years) receiving fluticasone furoate/vilanterol, and 16 of 2,070 patients (0.94 per 100 patient-years) receiving umeclidinium and vilanterol…

• use of a long-acting beta 2 -adrenergic agonist (LABA), including vilanterol, one of the active ingredients in Umeclidinium and Vilanterol ELLIPTA, without an inhaled corticosteroid (ICS), in patients with asthma [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )] .

• Use of a LABA, including Umeclidinium and Vilanterol ELLIPTA, without an inhaled corticosteroid is contraindicated in patients with asthma.

• LABA monotherapy (without an inhaled corticosteroid) for asthma increases the risk of serious asthma-related events.

Lung function (mean forced expiratory volume in 1 second [FEV 1 ] or morning peak expiratory flow [AM PEF]), beta-agonist use, and asthma symptoms should be carefully monitored during withdrawal of oral corticosteroids.

Acute Asthma Episodes Fluticasone Propionate DISKUS is not to be regarded as a bronchodilator and is not indicated for rapid relief of bronchospasm.

Patients should be instructed to contact their physicians immediately when episodes of asthma that are not responsive to bronchodilators occur during the course of treatment with Fluticasone Propionate DISKUS.

If bronchospasm occurs following dosing with Fluticasone Propionate DISKUS, it should be treated immediately with an inhaled, short-acting bronchodilator; Fluticasone Propionate DISKUS should be discontinued immediately; and alternative therapy should be instituted.
