User Reviews for Trelegy Ellipta (fluticasone/umeclidinium/vilanterol)

have been using for a couple years. seems to help with the breathing. no real side effects, except sometimes can really taste it. but costing 600.00 dollars a month for the inhaler is expensive..

Previous to using Trelegy Ellipta once every morning I was taking Duaklir Genuair twice daily together with Flixotide 250mg twice daily for copd plus other medications for heart disease and Montilucast for asthma. My breathing was getting worse and my coughing was driving my wife mad, not surprisingly walking and climbing stairs or any incline for that matter resulted in judicious use of the reliever inhaler (Salamol) and feeling awful. The difference with Trelegy is amazing. I recently walked 3+ miles along a sandy beach in wet weather; climbing short inclines was not a major problem either and stairs are now no problem. Okay, I still get fatigued but recovery is much shorter but I can now walk about 2 miles most days without puffing and stopping. The irony is that my doctor/specialist nurse simply doubled the dosage of my previous medications when my COPD got worse. A pharmacist employed by my surgery for COPD matters, suggested that the multiple drugs weren't working and possibly causing coughing/mucus production plus shortness of breath. He initially prescribed just Trelegy alone for one month - the result is impressive so far. Long may it last! Read More Read Less

I was taking Trelegy for about 6 months to treat my asthma symptoms brought on by both long Covid & severe anxiety. At first, I noticed that the medication was indeed helping, but after a while it was doing me more harm than good. I began having severe upticks in my heart rate, even at rest it was always beating quickly and uncomfortably due to the steroids in the medication. It was affecting my oral health as well as the powder would sometimes be stuck in my mouth and or tongue and throat. Stopping the medication was quite difficult as my lungs were used to receiving that boost from the inhaler, but it was necessary. I have not taken Trelegy in 6 months and tackled my symptoms on my own, I am feeling much better and am thankful that I'm no longer on the medication. Read More Read Less

I have tried several medications over the years to help with my severe adult asthma. I used to go through an albuterol rescue Inhaler in about 2 weeks. I started trelegy and was "asthma free" after about three days of using it. It had literally changed my life. I now know what it feels like to not have asthma. Even working out at the gym, getting hot at work or being around allergins. Trelegy saved my life. The only negative is the price. Without insurance it is around $800 a month currently.

Have been taking this medication for some time, I have to stop for periods of time due to coughing up blood. Is that what this medication is supposed to do?

I used to go to the ER very often because of my breathing. I was using my rescue inhaler multiple times a day. Since I have been using this medication...no ER visits...no rescue inhaler usage and most of all....I can do activities without getting short of breath. This medication has been a life saver for me.

I think it’s causing very dry and red eyes…..seeing eye Dr next week

Was on it due to COPD. From the first day I took it I could feel it didn't get in as deeply as my previous medication. Within the third day I started noticing a lot of mucus and I wasn't breathing as well at all. By the fourth day it was making me really sick. By thy fifth day I was using my emergency inhaler a few times a day. Which I never had to before. It started hurting my tongue, making it feel burnt, and drying out my mouth and throat so badly I couldn't sleep. It also gave me a headache. By about the seventh day I was having such a hard time breathing I stopped the medication. I went back to Anoro and Flovent. I beg anyone thinking of using this medication: Please don't!

Trelegy caused extreme shortage of breath. I also had joint pains when I was on it. I went off March 17, 2024 and feel normal again. I'm not blaming Trelegy, it just affected me differently.

I was using an inhaler for asthma 3 or more times a day. My dr said to try trelegy so i did in her office. after leaving which was about 3 weeks ago, i have not used my inhaler even once. this is amazing to me. i have more energy to do just about anything now. i had none before. I used to cough alot and wheeze. i have tried numerous medications. this was a great finding for me. no more coughing or wheezing. thankful for finding this medication.

Gave me copd ??

I have asthma and COPD. Had a COPD exasperation in August, doctor 2 times, sent then to ER, then to Pulmonary doctor. He took me off of Advair and said I needed Trelegy due to the COPD. This inhaler is awful. For sure I believe it has made me worse. Yes, gets me breathing some, for maybe 6 hrs or less, but then fails terribly. Headaches every day since starting this, pain in back and hands, and thrush ever since I started this. Have to take anti-fungal meds daily and it isn't even helping me. Going back to my Advair and pray I don't have another COPD flair up. Read More Read Less

I have chronic bronchitis. Trellegy works but if I use it for more than 2 weeks I get slight congestion with a cough. I use it for 2 weeks and then stop, sometimes I can go several months without using it. The cost is ridiculous, if I didn't have insurance I would not use it.

I was given this medication as a 14 day sample by my Pulmonologist...I was shocked at how great it worked on my ability to breath BUT! I felt so horrible like I had the flu, very bad weakness, muscle aches, very tired, I could not function or get out of bed. Will never take this terrible medicine again and I highly recommend you don't either. Love and Light to all. Kim ??

Not for me. I had sore throat and horrible hoarseness. Im sure it is Steroidal Induced Laryngitis. I quit taking this after one year being just borderline COPD. I feel better. Voice coming back. Did research on this med it can raise risk of pneumonia!!!

This inhaler made my A fib worse. Be careful if you have a heart problem.

No medication has ever relieved my symptoms like this one. I no longer need my emergency inhaler but 1 time per month, prior i used it 4 times a day or more. When i wake up in the morning i can go up stairs without even taking my morning dose. It’s been like a miracle drug for me. Be sure to rinse after use to avoid thrush

Put me on symbacort , had a fever and couldn't catch my breath or walk steps for four months , Dr. didn't believe me it was making me sick, finally gave me trilogy , didn't notice any improvement but stuck with it for 7 weeks , then just like symbacort ,I have a constant fever , flu symptoms , no desire to get up of the chair , broken blood vessels in my eye , these medicines are nothing but high priced poison, save yourself a lot of pain and suffering and study natural remedies , I am NEVER going back to taking any of this poison, When it literally tells you in the box that it causes pneumonia , why on earth would they give it to someone with breathing problems? I'm just going to avoid Dr.s from now on. The medical industry in this country is a scam. Read More Read Less

I've had COPD for a few years, two years ago I came down with Bronchitis that required three days in E.R.. Five months after that Bronchitis again, but this time with Covid and pneumonia requiring three months in rehab flat on my back. All the inhalers I've been prescribed have no effect. The immediate effect the Trelegy had was no coughing spells!!! If I skip Trelegy for one day I'm reminded to use by coughing. Important to me as increased coughing had led to Bronchitis, and the last bout with it almost did me in! I think that long term will lead to lung improvement.Read More Read Less

Trelegy changed my life. The flare ups from COPD were terrible. My sats dropped down to the 70's. Consistently. Since taking Trelegy, I've had no flare ups. This has been over 6 months. No more shortness of breath!
