Why is Trelegy Ellipta prescribed?

Trelegy Ellipta is used to control symptoms of COPD (chronic bronchitis and emphysema), like chest tightness, coughing, difficulty of breathing, and wheezing.

What does it do?

Trelegy Ellipta is a combination of three drugs, namely: Fluticasone, a steroid that reduces swelling of the airways; Umeclidinium, an anti-cholinergic that facilitates the opening of airways; and Vilanterol, a long-acting beta-agonist (LABA) that works by relaxing airways to facilitate normal breathing.

How should I use it?

Trelegy Ellipta (Fluticasone/Umeclidinium/Vilanterol) is currently available as a 100mcg/6,25mcg/25mcg inhaler. Each type of inhaler has its set of instructions regarding its priming, usage, and cleaning. Make sure to follow the directions and ask your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions.

The dosage strength depends on every patient’s condition and the doctor’s prescription. It is imperative that you do not self-medicate and only use this drug after consulting with your doctor or pharmacist to determine the best dosage and dosing schedule for the treatment of your condition.

What if I missed a dose?

The desired effects of prescribed medications will only be achieved if taken properly. As much as possible, strictly follow your doctor’s prescribed dosing schedule. However, if you miss a dose, take it immediately and adjust the time of your next dose depending on your doctor’s advice. Never take two doses at the same time just to make up for your missed dose.

What are the special precautions before taking Trelegy Elipta?

Inform your doctor about all the medications you are taking, your current and previous medical and vaccination history (especially for chickenpox or measles), and any allergic reactions to Trelegy Ellipta or any other ingredients included in the manufacture of this medication.

Keep in mind that Trelegy Ellipta is NOT a rescue medicine for acute attacks of COPD.

Inform your doctor if you had any form of surgery or if you are planning to get one.
