Trelegy Ellipta® Inhaler for COPD and Asthma

This prescription inhaler is used for maintenance control of COPD and asthma. It delivers three long-acting medicines in one device to help breathing symptoms. This page explains approved uses, dosing basics, safety, and how to order securely.

What Trelegy Is and How It Works

Trelegy Ellipta® combines an inhaled corticosteroid, a long-acting muscarinic antagonist, and a long-acting beta2-agonist in a dry powder device. It reduces airway inflammation, relaxes bronchial smooth muscle, and helps keep airways open throughout the day. We offer US shipping from Canada, and many patients compare out-of-pocket costs without insurance before ordering. CanadianInsulin.com is a prescription referral platform. We verify prescriptions with your prescriber when required, and licensed Canadian pharmacies dispense your order.

This medicine is for maintenance treatment. It is not a rescue inhaler for sudden symptoms. Keep a fast-acting reliever, such as albuterol, available for acute bronchospasm.

Who It’s For

This treatment is indicated for adults with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, including chronic bronchitis and emphysema. It is also approved for maintenance treatment of asthma in adults not adequately controlled on current therapy.

Do not use if you have a severe allergy to milk proteins or any device components. It should not treat sudden breathing problems or status asthmaticus. Use caution with narrow-angle glaucoma, urinary retention, cardiovascular disease, or immune suppression. Review your history of pneumonia risk if you have COPD and discuss preventive strategies.

Dosage and Usage

Most adults take one inhalation once daily at the same time each day. Do not use more than one inhalation within 24 hours unless your prescriber advises otherwise. Follow the patient instructions for the Ellipta device.

How to use the device: open the cover fully until you hear a click to load a dose. Breathe out fully away from the mouthpiece. Seal your lips around the mouthpiece. Inhale steadily and deeply. Hold your breath for at least a few seconds, then exhale slowly. Close the cover. Rinse your mouth with water and spit after each dose to lower the risk of oral thrush.

Check the dose counter before and after use. Keep a quick-relief inhaler available for sudden symptoms.

Strengths and Forms

This therapy is supplied as a dry powder inhaler with 30 blisters. Common strengths include 100/62.5/25 mcg and 200/62.5/25 mcg per inhalation. Availability may vary by pharmacy and prescription.

Missed Dose and Timing

If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and resume your usual schedule. Do not take two doses at the same time. This inhaler should not be used for sudden breathing problems.

Storage and Travel Basics

Store the device at room temperature in a dry place. Keep it in the sealed tray until first use, then record the open date. Do not wash the mouthpiece or expose the device to moisture, heat, or direct sunlight. Keep out of the reach of children and pets.

When traveling, carry your inhalers in your hand luggage with prescription documentation. Keep devices in their protective packaging, and avoid crushing or opening the cover unnecessarily. If you use a spacer with other inhalers, note that this dry powder device does not require a spacer. Airport security typically allows prescribed inhalers; present documentation if asked.

Benefits

This triple-therapy inhaler can simplify maintenance regimens into a single daily dose. It may improve lung function, reduce symptoms, and lower the risk of COPD flare-ups when used regularly. The device includes a dose counter and consistent delivery without priming steps.

Side Effects and Safety

• Oral thrush with white patches
• Hoarseness or throat irritation
• Cough or upper respiratory symptoms
• Headache or back pain
• Nausea or altered taste
• Sinus irritation or runny nose
• Muscle cramps or tremor
• Fast heartbeat or palpitations

Serious risks can include pneumonia in patients with COPD, paradoxical bronchospasm, severe allergy to milk proteins, glaucoma or urinary retention from anticholinergic effects, and cardiovascular events with long-acting beta2-agonists. Long-term corticosteroid exposure may increase the risk of infections, bone mineral density loss, cataracts, or glaucoma. Seek urgent care for symptoms of anaphylaxis, chest pain, or sudden worsening of breathing.

Drug Interactions and Cautions

Strong CYP3A4 inhibitors, such as ketoconazole, may increase steroid and vilanterol exposure. Certain HIV protease inhibitors and azole antifungals can raise systemic levels. Beta-blockers may blunt bronchodilation. Other anticholinergics can add to side effects like dry mouth or urinary retention. Diuretics and xanthines may increase the risk of low potassium. Monoamine oxidase inhibitors or tricyclic antidepressants can enhance cardiovascular effects of LABAs. Discuss grapefruit products, vaccines, and any new medicines with your clinician.

What to Expect Over Time

With consistent daily use, many patients notice steadier breathing control and fewer day-to-day fluctuations. Exacerbation risk may decrease when maintenance therapy is optimized. Keep using your reliever inhaler for sudden symptoms as directed, and do not stop maintenance treatment without medical guidance.

Track symptoms, night awakenings, and activity limits in a simple diary. Review inhaler technique at each visit, as minor errors can reduce delivered dose. If control remains suboptimal, your clinician may reassess triggers, adherence, and device technique before changing therapy.

Compare With Alternatives

Some patients use an inhaled steroid and long-acting beta agonist combination, such as Advair® Diskus, when triple therapy is not required. Others add a long-acting muscarinic antagonist like Spiriva® Respimat Inhaler to an existing controller plan. Your clinician will tailor therapy to your diagnosis, prior control, and risk of exacerbations.

Patient Suitability and Cost-Saving Tips

This therapy may suit adults who need triple maintenance therapy in one inhaler. It may not suit those with severe milk protein allergy or significant anticholinergic sensitivity. Discuss your history of glaucoma, urinary retention, or arrhythmias before starting.

Cost-conscious steps include larger fills when appropriate, setting refill reminders, and ordering ahead of travel. Manufacturer coupon programs, printable coupon options, and pharmacy discount cards may help in select cases. Some users explore coupon with insurance, price with insurance, or cost with Medicare to compare net expense. If available, a trelegy coupon might be applied at the prescriber’s or insurer’s discretion.
