Acute symptoms should be treated with an inhaled, short-acting beta 2 -agonist.
If Umeclidinium ELLIPTA no longer controls symptoms of bronchoconstriction; the patient’s inhaled, short-acting beta 2 -agonist becomes less effective; or the patient needs more short-acting beta 2 -agonist than usual, these may be markers of deterioration of disease.
If paradoxical bronchospasm occurs following dosing with Umeclidinium ELLIPTA, it should be treated immediately with an inhaled, short-acting bronchodilator; Umeclidinium ELLIPTA should be discontinued immediately; and alternative therapy should be instituted.
