Trelegy Ellipta (fluticasone / umeclidinium / vilanterol) "Trelegy is absolutely amazing! From day one I have such great improvement in my breathing. The problems I had are reduced so much. I hardly use my inhaler. Wheezing and mucus are barely there. Shortness of breath is greatly reduced. Sleeping is so much better too. I am very happy with Trelegy."

Trelegy Ellipta (fluticasone / umeclidinium / vilanterol) "I found Trelegy Ellipta to be amazing. I have tried all of the inhalers; none of them worked. The doctor gave me a sample, and within two days, I can breathe 100% better. Didn’t get winded walking or climbing stairs. A fantastic drug. The only thing that bothers me is I always seem to get a sore on my tongue from inhaling it, even though I do rinse out after every inhalation. But it’s still great."

Trelegy Ellipta (fluticasone / umeclidinium / vilanterol) "It is working well for my mother, but on Medicare and even with a supplemental insurance (which doesn't cover), the cost is over $600 in our area. It is outrageous that this is happening to our Senior Citizens. Same thing with Daliresp! Not covered and cost $300+ a month! So, the doctor puts her on both of these and now, since he did provide samples for a year, she can't afford either! What are we supposed to do! She has supplemental insurance and because of that, would not qualify for companies to help! Frustration 100% with both drugs!"

Trelegy Ellipta (fluticasone / umeclidinium / vilanterol) "I was on Symbicort and Pro-air for at least seven years. Four days ago I started using Trelegy. I find the results to be confusing. I now don't feel like I'm getting out of breath and I'm not having to use my Pro-air inhaler much all. However my 02 stats have taken a nose dive. They were running between 93 to 96 and at times would hit 97 for a very short period of time, Since using Trelegy they have dropped as low as 86 and are usually between 90 to 93. I don't understand this and I will probably follow up with my doctor."

Trelegy Ellipta (fluticasone / umeclidinium / vilanterol) "The doctor gave me a sample of this on Wednesday . I used it once in his office . An hour later the headache started then the pain all over my body and a bad cough. After that the chills started and for the next 2 days I was too weak and sleepy to get out of bed . The symptoms are slowly getting better and I am still feeling them today . It's Saturday hopefully will completely go away soon. The first 36 hours after using it I wasn't sure if I would live or die . Only used it the one time."

Trelegy Ellipta (fluticasone / umeclidinium / vilanterol) "I have COPD and was on Symbicort from 2013 to 2018 and then on Trelegy. On the Symbicort turbo haler I needed to get up after 6 hrs sleep and have a morning puff. Now 72 yo, I found Trelegy enabled me to sleep in (I'm retired and thats something I hadn't done in years) so remarkable improvement and no admissions in 2 years). 2020 nos Fev1 38 Pef 58!"

Trelegy Ellipta (fluticasone / umeclidinium / vilanterol) "I tried Trelegy and after only 4 days I was very ill. Weak, lower chest had a burning feeling off and on- very painful. Breathing worsened. I have COPD. Stopped using Trelegy and after only 2 days felt pretty good. Tried using it again yesterday a.m. and then again this morning. Pain in lower chest again about 2 hours or so this a.m. Breathing was somewhat labored. My normal resting pulse is approximately 62. This morning and for most of day it was between 88 and 102 when I was doing basically nothing. Horrible headache. Very weak for several hours and just kind of scared. Will NEVER use this medication again- NEVER. Went back to using it again as described above to be fairly sure my negative symptoms were being cause by Trelegy usage. It was and is."

Trelegy Ellipta (fluticasone / umeclidinium / vilanterol) "I have severe COPD and had been on Relvar and Incruse for almost three years and the two inhalers certainly worked better for me than Spiriva. A month ago I switched to Trelegy Ellipta, which I gather combines Relvar and Incruse. Since switching from Spiriva I have suffered far fewer flare-ups (two a year on average rather than eight or nine) and the Trelegy Ellipta has made no difference so I’m happy to keep on using it. So far I have suffered no side-effects at all."

Trelegy Ellipta (fluticasone / umeclidinium / vilanterol) "I've been using Trelegy approimately 2 years. I have no way to determine if thy is medicine is working. I take Trelegy same time every morning may experience some relief for a few hours, however as my day progresses and I attempt to be more active with normal daily activities I have no relief, none, I even struggle to get dressed. I constantly have to rely on my rescue inhaler several times a day in order to function even for minor activities."

Trelegy Ellipta (fluticasone / umeclidinium / vilanterol) "Began using Trelegy a month ago within a week I noticed a difference in my breathing - no longer s shortness of breath when going up and down stairs - Used to have to use my emergency inhaler 2-3xs a day - that immediately changed - have only needed a few times a week if that. I've been on oxygen 24/7 for the past 2 years recently I haven’t needed it at rest since my O2 stats are now over 90. Have had a few side effects such as headaches and a raspy voice however I can deal with them - Very happy to be experiencing results...! Only $10 for 12 months co-pay with coupon on their site!"

Trelegy Ellipta (fluticasone / umeclidinium / vilanterol) "I posted on here originally on March 1st, today is the tenth and I have stopped using Trelegy and went back on my old inhalers. On trelegy I had a heaviness in trying to breath, and developed a soft but nagging cough... I wish it would have worked, much easier to manage than 3 inhalers...... "

Trelegy Ellipta (fluticasone / umeclidinium / vilanterol) "Working! Using rescue inhaler few times a week otherwise definite improvement! Works better if you don’t smoke I think so I quit that. No longer need nebulizer either. No hospitalization in 5 months I’m excited! Was having joint pain but that has improved. I tell everyone don’t smoke anything! Lungs go bad then life is much tougher!"

My side effects are back ache, emotional mood swings, earache ,constipation [ but not sure if I can put constipation down to the Trelegy]"

Trelegy Ellipta (fluticasone / umeclidinium / vilanterol) "After taking trelegy for two weeks there was no noticeable improvement in breathing. After week three I woke up with very sore throat, hard to breath could not talk, I had lost my voice, totally got into a fit of coughing so bad I thought I was going to hurt myself, as I was throwing up and couldn't clear my throat. I almost called for ambulance to go to ER. Very bad experience will never take again and do not recommend!!"

Trelegy Ellipta (fluticasone / umeclidinium / vilanterol) "My Dr. gave me samples about a month ago. To say that I am pleased is a gross understatement. Hands down, the best COPD med I have ever taken! And, I've taken a ton of them. My doc later told me that I was her test subject!"

Trelegy Ellipta (fluticasone / umeclidinium / vilanterol) "I wanted to try Trelegy Ellipta after 2 years of Anoro. I got a 4 week sample from my Doctor. My first few days of using I felt I had better breathing but after 3 weeks of use it lost its effectiveness. The biggest problem I have had with this inhaler is nearly constant moderate hoarseness and laryngitis. I can't take it anymore because my job requires speaking. I thought it would be a temporary side effect but now I will return to the Anoro. Very disappointed."

Trelegy Ellipta (fluticasone / umeclidinium / vilanterol) "I have been on trelegy almost 3 months. I am so achy, tired and just worn out. Not to mention the cough. I will be calling my doctor to discontinue. I gave it a good try. I can’t say it was any better than Advair and Tudorza as my breathing is the same. I will go back to twice a day inhalers if need be. With the copay from the manufacture I had zero cost to me."

Trelegy Ellipta (fluticasone / umeclidinium / vilanterol) "I have had a diagnosis of Emphysema for 1 year. My condition has become progressively worse over this time. I was using a Ventolin inhaler every four hours, night and day, for approximately 3 months. I was given the Trelegy Ellipta three weeks ago. The transformation in my breathing and overall health has been remarkable. I can only hope that the benefits persist, and any side effects (I have high blood pressure and type 2 diabetes) are minimal. The only reason I rated a 9 rather than a 10 is due to worries with side effects."

Trelegy Ellipta (fluticasone / umeclidinium / vilanterol) "The first while I took trelegy I noticed an improvement in breathing. Then for the last month not near as effective. Started getting thrush in my mouth, painful little sores, even though I rinse with salt water. And listerine..I will stop using it"

However I have found my breathing is actually worse and I am struggling. I am currently on antibiotics and am wondering if I should battle on or go back to Seretide and Spiriva. Any advice welcome please"

Trelegy Ellipta (fluticasone / umeclidinium / vilanterol) "I initially coughed for the first hour, then the following day, half of my head hurt to the touch, it felt like it was sunburned. That lasted a week. Then I had increased mucus , that woke me up at night, as I was chocking on it. I had pains in my hips and joints, and the pain moved down my legs as I lifted them to lay on a couch, I could no longer lift my arms above my head, without them being in pain at the muscle, which felt as if it went down to the bone. A sore throat and headaches. Other than those side effects my breathing did improve, but not enough to warrant putting up with the side effects. I lasted 3 months, then gave it up. Doctor then tried me on Trimbow, that lasted 3 days, when I ended up with vertigo. I'm now back on seebri & fostair"

Trelegy Ellipta (fluticasone / umeclidinium / vilanterol) "I am having a hard time using this inhaler due to the powder being so concentrated. It makes me cough every time I begin to inhale it. I wonder how effective it is if I am unable to breathe it all the way in. I have switched back to Breo because it does not make me cough when inhaling the medication."

Three Dr.s and a 2-day hospital visit later, and no one was able to figure out in 3 months that it was causing all my problems! I looked up the side effects yesterday and solved all my health issues. The hospital that I was in does not prescribe it."
