Step-by-step usage instructions

What is Trelegy Ellipta

Trelegy Ellipta contains three active ingredients called fluticasone furoate, umeclidinium bromide, and vilanterol.

Fluticasone furoate belongs to a group of medicines called corticosteroids, often simply called steroids.

Umeclidinium bromide and vilanterol belong to a group of medicines called bronchodilators.

What is Trelegy Ellipta used for

Trelegy Ellipta is used to treat chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in adults. COPD is a chronic disease that worsens slowly and is characterized by difficulty breathing.

In COPD, the muscles surrounding the airways contract, making it difficult to breathe. This medicine relaxes the lung muscles, reducing inflammation and irritation in the smaller airways and facilitating the entry and exit of air from the lungs. When used regularly, it helps control breathing difficulties and reduces the effects of COPD on daily life.

Trelegy Ellipta should be used daily and not just when breathing problems or other COPD symptoms occur. It should not be used to relieve a sudden attack of choking or wheezing.If you experience this type of attack, use a rapid-acting inhaler (such as salbutamol).If you do not have a rapid-acting inhaler, contact your doctor.

Do not use Trelegy Ellipta

• If you are allergic to fluticasone furoate, umeclidinium, vilanterol, or any of the other components of this medication (listed in section 6).
