Re: Revinty vs. Relvar

Maybe the difference is in the inhaler?

It is under EMA new informed consent application, thus should be the same product as Relvar Ellipta with same ATC code. CHMP gave positive opinion on identical product UMEC/VI as Anoro and Laventair last month:

So my guess is GSK wants to market each of these two products, FF/VI and UMEC/VI, as two different brand products in EU, probably in different territories. They filed two applications simultaneously for UMEC/VI obviously, filed FF/VI under new informed consent application after Relvar Ellipta's approval.
