Umiflo Inhaler CFC Free is a prescription combination inhaler marketed by Zydus that contains Umeclidinium 31.25mcg and Vilanterol 12.5mcg per metered dose. Umeclidinium is a long acting anticholinergic and Vilanterol is a long acting beta agonist, and together they relax the muscles around the airways in two different ways so that air moves in and out more easily. Doctors prescribe it for regular maintenance treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease to reduce breathlessness, cough and wheezing. It is a CFC free formulation with a modern propellant, and the device has a dose counter that shows how many doses remain. Each canister provides 120 metered doses. It is a preventer and not a rescue medicine, so a quick relief inhaler should always be kept nearby. It is a Schedule H medicine and should be used only as advised by your doctor.
