"I have just started with this medication and I find it good. It's nice to only have one inhaler to take. So far, so good. The only problem seems to be getting my tongue coated when I inhale. I use one puff a day."

"Life changing. No wheezing, coughing only after one week of use, 3 years ago. Have had some palpitations at times plus now throbbing in the neck that may be a thyroid problem. I can exercise and walk long distances without coughing and wheezing. Do have more problems with my arthritis. Hope not onset of osteoporosis."

"I have diabetes. When I use Trelegy Ellipta my blood sugar rockets high. It has caused it to go to over 400 and 500. If you are diabetic be very careful when taking this medication. I can't say it doesn't work because it helps me breathe much better. I just can't handle the blood sugar spike."

"I changed from using Dulera & Spiriva Daily and switched to Trelegy Ellipta for the past 6 months. For the first month I noticed an increase in breathing and felt better. Didn't use my nebulizer much at all. Now, I seem to be running out of breath much more. I have had some dizziness and feeling bound up a lot. Why great at beginning and now not so much???"

"While this medicine is helpful, It is prohibitively expensive! They charge insurance co. $725.00/month and I have to pay $121.41/month! Additionally, one inhaler stopped working with 14 days left! Too much for an elder on a fixed income. I am going to try another type of inhaler. I was on Breo prior to Trelegy and while I feel Trelegy more effectively assists my breathing, I cannot continue to throw $ away on useless dispensers!"

"Trelegy has been a lifesaver for me. It turned my life around! I was able to make it to a car or building (depending on whether I was coming or going). I didn't collapse in the middle of a Walmart and wait until I could breathe well enough to make it to the car."

"Worked great the first year, no infections. Then it changed. Now constantly sick. Have COPD with asthma overlap. Very hard to inhale this, at times it clumps in your mouth. It is extremely expensive. I also had an extreme rash on my hands. Cortisone cream, and finally Prednisone keeps it under control."

"I have COPD and have been using Trelegy for a few years. About a year ago I was diagnosed with Valley Fever and was treated with Fluconozole to fight the fungus. CT scans show it isn't working. Could the fungal warnings using Trelegy be affecting the effectiveness of the Fluconozole?"

"I was a heavy smoker for 30-plus years, very stupid! I was unable to breathe on cold mornings while walking and exercise was difficult. Since taking Trelligy Ellipta every morning for about 3 years my tests are almost normal and I can move about without any problems. My Lung specialist is also overly impressed with my recovery. It has worked wonders for me, just make sure to rinse the mouth thoroughly after inhaling to prevent mouth irritation."
