Trelegy Ellipta (fluticasone / umeclidinium / vilanterol) "I used Trelegy Ellipta for three months. I found it did not last 24 hours but rather after 7 hours, I had to use my rescue inhaler. I started to have leg cramps and spasms in the second month of use. I also noticed increased blood pressure. After the third month, I stopped using this medication and switched to a different medication."

Trelegy Ellipta (fluticasone / umeclidinium / vilanterol) "Since being on Trelegy, I have not had a serious asthma attack - not having to call an ambulance or ending up in the hospital. I am 78 years old and was finally diagnosed in my 70s with 'late onset silent asthma'."

Trelegy Ellipta (fluticasone / umeclidinium / vilanterol) "I have moderate to severe asthma, with air trapping and hyperinflation, and bronchiectasis. Also, a reduction in FVC, FEV1, and especially MVV. I've tried Spiriva, Symbicort, Breo, and Advair, but I still needed a rescue inhaler often. Then my breathing has gotten much worse. I can't breathe after approximately 10 minutes of laying prone. I have to sit up because I'm gasping for breath. Also, now whenever I move, I get out of breath. The last month has been significantly worse. I switched to Trelegy Ellipta to try (but cringed at the cost). My breathing has been much improved on Trelegy Ellipta, but I can't afford it. I'm almost out, only have a few days left. I've contacted GSK ASSISTANCE for help because Medicare won't provide assistance. I can't breathe without this medicine. The dosage is 200mcg/62.5mcg/25mcg, once a day. I hope this helps."

Trelegy Ellipta (fluticasone / umeclidinium / vilanterol) "Trelegy Ellipta is a game changer for my asthma, but the increase in heart rate is not worth it, plus the fluid retention. Heart rate goes from normal in the 60s to 80s to the high 90s. Sadly the side effects are too much for me. Great drug other than my side effects."

Trelegy Ellipta (fluticasone / umeclidinium / vilanterol) "Soon after I started using Trelegy Elipta my mouth became extremely dry to the point that now I find it hard to chew food. I also find that toothpaste stings the inside walls of my mouth and tongue. I have looked but see no whiteness as I would if I had thrush. I used to use Symbacort and the doctor started me on about a month ago on Trelegy. I liked it since I only had to take it once a day but I don't like the powder that sticks in my throat after use. I swish and gargle after each use. It is hard for me to see if I have a thrush in my throat. I am also suffering from a rash and had prick tests last week that confirm old allergic environmental reactions. The rash is not going away, and severe itching is now in the lower back."

Trelegy Ellipta (fluticasone / umeclidinium / vilanterol) "Absolutely love Trelegy Ellipta I have both COPD and asthma, and I can tell you, it's 100% effective. Trelegy works fast and lasts throughout the day. I'd also like to add that Trelegy paid for my prescription for over a year, but my insurance company chose to charge me a co-pay, regardless."

Trelegy Ellipta (fluticasone / umeclidinium / vilanterol) "Trelegy Ellipta has been very effective at controlling my asthma and chest tightness. I was very happy with those results. However, I have also experienced increasing nighttime calf and foot cramps and headaches. The cramps are causing sleep loss and I may have to go off Trelegy."

Trelegy Ellipta (fluticasone / umeclidinium / vilanterol) "I've been taking Trelegy for about 1.5 years now (since I was 25, female). I got Covid in March 2020 and now have long Covid, and my lungs hadn't quite been the same. I developed panic attacks as a result. I was using albuterol up to 4x a day (so bad for anxiety!) and have GERD that refluxes into lungs causing wheezing from all of the gunk. It's been amazing for the silent reflux mucus-lungs! I was able to stop wheezing all the time and now only use my albuterol rarely. I haven't noticed any side effects that couldn't be explained by the long Covid/didn't already exist. Unfortunately, my asthma doc started me on 200, so there won't be any higher I could go. It's worth trying if you're already at the end of your rope. My only warning: Be careful of withdrawals, especially from the 200. It takes a few days for withdrawals to start, but the rebound fills your lungs back up. Also, get the manufacturer coupon, it's super expensive."

Trelegy Ellipta (fluticasone / umeclidinium / vilanterol) "I had an asthma problem for a long time and it has been getting worse recently. So, my doctor changed my inhaler to Trelegy Ellipta a few days ago. After using it for three days, I noticed that my wheezing has improved and I have less mucus already."

Trelegy Ellipta (fluticasone / umeclidinium / vilanterol) "Controls my asthma. My doctor switched me to breather and I had an asthma attack on it. I used a rescue inhaler and a nebulizer. I switched back to Trelegy and feel much better. I have mouth sores, increased urination, and other mild side effects, but it is worth it to breathe better."

Trelegy Ellipta (fluticasone / umeclidinium / vilanterol) "I can finally breathe and walk without sounding like I'm going to die from being short of breath!!! I have been suffering for almost 6 years taking my regular inhaler, action inhaler seeing Pulmonary specialist. Finally my doctor sent me to allergy and asthma and they took me off of my regular inhaler put me on Trelegy Ellipta and allergy shots and now I can breathe like a normal person!!! I'm so excited I could cry! No negative side effects so I'm very happy."

Trelegy Ellipta (fluticasone / umeclidinium / vilanterol) "I recently was prescribed Trelegy Ellipta 200. It seemed to help, but about a month into treatment, woke up to a swollen red face, which seemed to lessen with prescribed steroids. But the next day, my neck was red also. After a visit to my Primary Doctor, he advised going back to Advair."

"I was wheezing all day long even though I had a rescue inhaler, and a regular inhaler. I began to feel out of breath a lot and was using both inhalers more than 3 times a day with very little relief. The wheezing became louder as time went on. It was draining on me. My doctor said try Trelegy to see if I could get some relief. After probably 3 days, I began to feel better. I could feel that my lung function was definitely improving to my satisfaction. I haven't felt the need to use my regular inhaler since a week after being on Trelegy. I feel so much better because I can breathe a full breath and have only felt or heard wheezing a few times. Trelegy is working for me. However, the cost is killing me! My copay is $180.00 a month! I tried to get a coupon to reduce the cost but no go! I may have to stop using it. I am a retired teacher, my husband is due to retire also. Once he retires, I fear I will need to switch back to Symbicort and my regular inhaler, with little improvement to health."

Trelegy Ellipta (fluticasone / umeclidinium / vilanterol) "This really works. The first day, I could feel it working. I could finish 20 minutes of spinning, but could barely make it through. I did it a couple more times, barely making it. I got sick with the flu or Covid, I don't know which one, to be honest, busy with work and a month later, which was 2 and a half months of taking Trelegy, I decided it was time to get back to spinning. Much to my surprise, I was able to do a half hour without stopping and without feeling like I could barely make it through. I didn't yawn in the beginning, like I normally do. Which means my body didn't need more oxygen because it was getting it and my lungs were opened up and in peak working order. Now I can exercise the way I used to"

Trelegy Ellipta (fluticasone / umeclidinium / vilanterol) "I have been using Trelegy since 2/2/24. I was using another inhaler for 90 days prior. It always feels like I am not getting enough air when I breathe after I take my Trelegy. Of course, I am grabbing my bottled water and heading to gargle and rinse immediately after I gently release my breath. Other than that, I have only concerns about side effects."
