For COPD "I've been taking Trelegy for 3 weeks now. I see a huge improvement in my breathing. I've been on almost every medicine for COPD in the past 9 years, and I can say this is the best for me. No side effects for me. Thank you, Trelegy."

For COPD "Trelegy is absolutely amazing! From day one, I have had 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."

For COPD "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."

For COPD "I was put on Trelegy from Spiriva. I can honestly say my breathing is better by about 90%. My wheezing and whistling have gone, and the mucus is nearly non-existent now. The only drawback is my throat feels raw for about half an hour after using the inhaler, plus I get a cough straight after. All in all, I am really happy with it!"

For COPD "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!"

For COPD "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 the 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 caused by Trelegy usage. It was and is."

For COPD "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 at all. However, my O2 stats have taken a nosedive. 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."

For COPD "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 hours of sleep and have a morning puff. Now 72 years old, I found Trelegy enabled me to sleep in (I'm retired, and that's something I hadn't done in years), so remarkable improvement and no admissions in 2 years. 2020, no FEV1 38, PEF 58!"

For Asthma "I’ve been taking Trelegy for 2 months. I have horrible coughing attacks and severe mucus. More than I’ve ever had. I’m hoarse all the time. I’m just going to stop and go back to Symbicort. Trelegy isn’t for everyone."

For COPD "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, it 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."

For Asthma "Five years with no dental cavities. After using Trelegy according to instructions for just over six months, I have just been diagnosed with eight cavities costing ~$2000 to repair! After breathing the powder, I always rinse three times. My dentist has recommended brushing after use, as well, now that we see these side effects! I'm also finding the drug less effective after six months and now need to use a rescue inhaler at least once per day, which I did not need at all after starting on Trelegy."

For Asthma "Got a 6-week sample of Trelegy. I have been using just a rescue inhaler. Occasionally, they would not be effective, and I would need to go to the hospital. Steroids generally just cleared it up. Other than that, decent functionality for an asthmatic. At first, it seemed like nights weren't as bad; they had been the worst before. This still seems to basically be true; however, now my nose gets completely stopped up at night, an inconvenience, but not the end of the world. The real issue is all of the phlegm, and the constantly being out of breath. Before, I was able to work all day and maybe need a puff or two from the rescue. Now, I can't even walk 100 yards, and I am literally producing cups of phlegm a day and coughing a lot. At this point, I think I am going to discontinue use. I started slowly putting off when I take it, and it seems like I am doing better before I take the medication. Then, within 30 minutes, I'm having breathing issues."

For COPD "I've been using Trelegy approximately 2 years. I have no way to determine if this medicine is working. I take Trelegy at the 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."

For COPD "After taking Trelegy for two weeks, there was no noticeable improvement in breathing. After week three, I woke up with a very sore throat, hard to breathe, 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 an ambulance to go to the ER. Very bad experience, will never take again and do not recommend!!"

For COPD "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 breathe, and developed a soft but nagging cough... I wish it would have worked, much easier to manage than 3 inhalers......"

"DO NOT TAKE TRELEGY! I was having residual coughing from COVID for over 4 months, and Albuterol was not working, so my doctor gave me a 2-week sample of Trelegy. After just two days, I ended up in the ER, almost dying from pneumonia-like symptoms. This caused my eyes and cheeks to swell, blurry vision, extreme headache, constant coughing, and the worst back pain I have ever had. I pray that someone reading this hasn’t tried this horrible drug yet, because if you do, you could end up dead. I do not know how this is on the market. I pray these residual effects from this medication leave my body, and then I’m not stuck with this for life over two puffs. You have been warned."

For COPD "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."

For COPD "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 manufacturer, I had zero cost to me."

For COPD "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 it, 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."

For COPD "Began using Trelegy a month ago. Within a week, I noticed a difference in my breathing - no longer shortness of breath when going up and down stairs. Used to have to use my emergency inhaler 2-3 times a day - that immediately changed - have only needed it 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 a coupon on their site!"

For COPD "My doctor gave me samples about a month ago. To say that I am pleased is a gross understatement. Hands down, the best COPD medication I have ever taken! And, I've taken a ton of them. My doctor later told me that I was her test subject!"

For COPD "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."

For COPD "I have given Trelegy Ellipta a good try over the past two months, and I have made an appointment to see the doctor about going back to a different medicine. My side effects are backache, emotional mood swings, earache, constipation, but not sure if I can put constipation down to the Trelegy."

For Asthma "I was prescribed 1 treatment a day. After the third treatment, I became very hoarse. I felt like my head was stopped up like never before. My throat felt closed up, my lungs as well. Trouble breathing. Rash on my side. Constipation. It’s now 4 days after the last treatment, and I’m still having trouble with my throat and voice. This drug was given to me from the doctor’s office. Sample."

For COPD "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."
