Yes, Dulera and the medication called fluticasone furoate/vilanterol trifenatate (Breo) are similar. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved both Dulera and Breo to treat asthma in adults. Dulera is also approved to treat asthma in children ages 5 and older.
Both drugs contain an inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) and a long-acting beta2-agonist (LABA). Dulera contains mometasone (an ICS) and formoterol (a LABA). Breo contains fluticasone furoate (an ICS) and vilanterol trifenatate (a LABA).
Both Dulera and Breo come as inhalers. Dulera is a metered dose inhaler, which dispenses the drug as a spray. Breo is a dry powder inhaler, which dispenses the drug as a fine powder.
If you have questions about Dulera, Breo, or other asthma medications, talk with your doctor.
