Vilanterol is a medication primarily used to treat chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).[2] It may also be used to prevent worsening in asthma.[1] It is inhaled in combination with other medications.[1]

Common side effects include nose and throat irritation, thrush, and chest pain.[2] Other side effects may include anaphylaxis and bronchospasm.[2] It is a long-acting β2 adrenoreceptor agonist (LABA).[2]

Vilanterol in combination with fluticasone was approved for medical use in the United States in 2013.[3] It is also avaliable as umeclidinium/vilanterol and fluticasone/umeclidinium/vilanterol.[2][1] In the United Kingdom a month of medication costs the NHS about £20 to £45 as of 2021.[1] In the United States this amount costs about 190 USD.[4]
