User Reviews for Trelegy Ellipta inhalation

64 y.o. male COPD Been taking 3 weeks and the only noticeable effect is shrinking of wallet. I had a 14 day sample and now a 30 day script. After the 44 days run their course if no change of any ind I will be done with this med. I've noticed 20 ads a day on local network tv and md. extolled it. This makes me suspect due to my nature. Make your own choice but I'm leaning towards calling bullshit.

Too expensive I can't spend 500 dollars a month that's crazy. We'd be homeless if we even tried to pay for it. Their website said they had a coupon to make it cheaper it was actually 700 dollars We have a discount card we use for other meds and that's why it's 500 I'm terminal I have pulmonary fibrosis and that's why I need the medicine without it I will pass away

Was prescribed trelegy for COPD used for two weeks and was rendered nearly blind! For me can’t recommend

I was on Breo and was so happy with it. But Insurance didnt want to pay for it . So they have me Trelegy . It helped a bit but wasnt a total game changer. Now Im trying advair. Trelegy however does cause cavities .

Caused sore throat. Cause hoarseness when I talked Cause build up of white flame in throat. This is after 14 days of using it . Gave me no better breathing.

this Ellipta has made my life so much better--I could not do without it it is magic

Trelegy was prescribed to me as a controller for moderate uncomplicated asthma. Initially it worked great. But as time passed, I just felt sick all the time. Inhaling it made me cough and/or vomit. I told the doctor about it but I just got told I was inhaling it wrong. Little did I know that is a side effect that means you should not take Trelegy. After nearly a year, I had steroid induced laryngitis so bad that I could not talk at all. I was having something like reflux almost every day. My throat was raw and painful. I was treated for thrush but it didn't work so I am pretty sure it is the medication itself. I was congested all the time, too. Finally I stopped taking it and within 2 1/2 week my voice was coming back and I was actually breathing better than when I was on it. And I have little to no congestion. It was over all a terrible experience, I felt like I was sicker while on it than off it.Read More Read Less

Used 11 days of a 14 day sample. Had flu-like symptoms for two weeks, had to stop the Trelegy. Tested negative for Covid. Now a month later still have the Thrush. I don't know how they can market a product that has flu and pneumonia as side effects.

I have been on Trelegy for a couple of weeks and other inhalers for 18 years, I was short of breath yesterday after I took a puff of Trelegy, dosage is one puff per day. I decided to forego todays puff so I havent used it for 24 hours and I breathe better today than I have for the past few years. Well guess what? I am going off all these inhalers I think these medications are like our government. ALL PHONY and I think that they eventually will kill you. I will let you know how I do without these expensive so called remedies.Read More Read Less

My pulmonary Doctor, who prescribed Symbicort retired. My new pulmonary Doctor wanted me to try Trelegy Ellipta instead. The 1st day I could breathe better than with Symbicort. However, the next day all my joints started to itch. I stopped taking Trelegy to make sure that is wasn't the cause of the joint swelling. I went to my return appt three days later. My Doctor gave me more Trelegy. I again experienced the itching joints but continued the Trelegy. The next days all my joints swelled up and itched and hurt, Then my finger joints swelled up. Finally each distal phalanx bent way over to the side as if my tendons had shrunk. By that time I was convinced that the Trelegy was causing all the swelling. I stopped the Trelegy and my joints returned to normal except my fingers remained skewed to the side. After a year of manually squeezing my fingers straight, they appear almost normal.

I have asthma and copd. Used Advair without needing emergency inhaler much, maybe once or twice a week. I had covid twice. We also moved to IA. My tests showed a 4% decrease in my lung capacity. I tried Trelegy with a nebulizer and had to use my emergency inhaler frequently. I was coughing all the time which never happened on Advair. I am hoping that covid isn't the cause of my problem. I am back on Advair since two days ago but no improvement yet except my coughing stopped. I also have not exercised for obvious reasons. Read More Read Less

All breathing aids affect me the same; I get some relief for the first hour and 3 hours after taking them I’m as or more congested than I was before talking the med. At $472 it’s totally not worth it.

I had to stop Trelegy after two months because of side effects. Initially it did wonders for my breathing, my peak expiratory flow improved significantly and FEV1 also improved. The side effects creeping in I initially blamed on other meds I was taking, the weather, stress - anything but the Trelegy as I so wanted it to work. I was experiencing extremely severe leg cramps, severe overwhelming fatigue, blurry vision, bad oral thrush, feeling severely dehydrated and chest tightness. Most of these symptoms resolved within two to three days of stopping Trelegy. I did retry taking it again for two days and became almost bedridden. I'm going back to an older (but proven for me) regimen of QVAR and albuterol with Combivent as needed. It's much less convenient but without the side effects of Trelegy. Read More Read Less

within 2 days, my left parotid(salivary) gland swelled up. wonder if the powder might have blown up the duct and caused this swelling????????????????

Advair was my maintenance med for many years but started to lose effectiveness.The first day after using Trelegy I started to not have to use my rescue inhaler as often.Very pleased,no side effects.

I have been on Trelegy for four months for stage 4 COPD. It seems to have a real positive effect on stopping exasperations or flare ups. Only side effect I have experienced is a little goop around my eyes in the morning. You definitely need to rinse out your mouth after using it, otherwise thrush condition will set in. This medication makes managing COPD a lot easier. Very easy to use the inhaler with the counter. The government should force the tobacco companies pay for this drug.

I had been talking Spiriva but not very effective. Trelegy has given me my life back. Recently I was on vacation with a lot of walking. Normally I would have needed a wheelchair or a lot of stops to catch my breath. Not needed . It’s wonderful. Thanks GSK

I've been diagnosed with uncontrolled Acute Asthma.. Dr. Prescribed Trelegy 200mcg... prior to taking this inhaler.. my lungs were always stuffy... my bronchial tubes were always inflamed ..hard to breathe..I've taken Trelegy for 2 mos. ...worked for about a month than my lungs started feeling tight and stuffy again.. My pulse rates always high.. as is my blood pressure... I've also developed a terrible headache in the front of my head..I've had for a week or 2 .possible Sinus issue.. Going to ENT MD to look inside my sinuses.. Why should I continue this med if it's not even helping?! And possibly causing fast pulse rate and high blood pressure with headaches?!Read More Read Less
