Trelegy Ellipta® Inhaler for COPD and Asthma

Trelegy Ellipta® is a once-daily prescription inhaler for long-term control of COPD and adult asthma. It combines three maintenance medicines in one device to help reduce symptoms and flare-ups. This page explains how it works, who it’s for, and how you can order with US delivery from Canada while reviewing the Trelegy Ellipta® price without insurance.

What Trelegy Is and How It Works

Trelegy Ellipta® contains an inhaled corticosteroid, a long-acting muscarinic antagonist, and a long-acting beta agonist. Together, this fluticasone furoate, umeclidinium, and vilanterol combination helps control airway inflammation, relax airway muscles, and improve airflow. As a fluticasone umeclidinium vilanterol inhaler, it is used for maintenance therapy, not for sudden breathing problems.

Border Free Health connects U.S. patients with licensed Canadian partner pharmacies; prescriptions are verified with prescribers before dispensing.

This medicine is designed for consistent daily use. It may reduce COPD exacerbations and help maintain asthma control in adults who need triple therapy. It does not replace a rescue inhaler. For inhaler technique tips, see our overview of Inhaler Therapy.

Who It’s For

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

People with severe milk protein allergy should not use this device. Avoid use for acute episodes or status asthmaticus. Caution is advised in patients with cardiovascular disease, narrow-angle glaucoma, or urinary retention. For condition background, explore Asthma and COPD resources.

Dosage and Usage

Use one inhalation once daily, at the same time each day. Do not take more than one dose in 24 hours. Follow the steps on the device label: open the cover fully until it clicks, breathe out away from the mouthpiece, seal lips around the mouthpiece, inhale steadily and deeply, hold your breath, then close the device. Rinse your mouth with water after each use to help reduce the risk of oral thrush.

If your prescriber selects this triple therapy, they are prescribing the fluticasone furoate umeclidinium vilanterol combination for maintenance control. Keep using it regularly even when you feel well. Always keep a rescue inhaler available for sudden symptoms. When uncertain, refer to the official label and your prescriber’s instructions.

Strengths and Forms

The Ellipta device is a dry powder inhaler with a built-in dose counter. Common presentations include:

• Trelegy Ellipta 100/62.5/25 mcg for maintenance therapy, device with multiple doses
• 200/62.5/25 mcg option for patients who need higher inhaled corticosteroid strength

Availability may vary by prescribing country and partner pharmacy.

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. Do not take two doses at once. Try to use it at the same time each day. A simple daily alarm or pillbox reminder can support consistency.

Storage and Travel Basics

Store the inhaler at room temperature and keep it dry. Keep it in the sealed tray until first use. After opening, close the cover when not in use and protect it from moisture. Check the dose counter and the device label for any discard guidance. Keep out of reach of children and pets.

When you travel, carry the device in your hand luggage. Keep it in the original labeled packaging for security checks. Bring a copy of your prescription if possible. Avoid exposing the device to extreme heat or humidity. Do not wash the inhaler or shake it. If you use multiple inhalers, separate them in a travel pouch to avoid mix-ups.

Benefits

This therapy provides triple-ingredient maintenance treatment in a once-daily inhaler. The device is ready to use with no assembly, and the built-in counter helps track remaining doses. Regular use can support symptom control and reduce COPD flare-ups when used as directed. Many patients appreciate having one inhaler instead of separate controllers.

Side Effects and Safety

• Headache or back pain
• Throat irritation or hoarseness
• Cough or sinus discomfort
• Oral thrush; rinsing the mouth helps lower risk
• Upper respiratory tract infection

Serious risks can include pneumonia in COPD, allergic reactions, adrenal effects with high steroid exposure, cardiovascular effects with beta agonists, and urinary retention or worsening glaucoma with anticholinergics. Seek urgent care for signs of severe allergy, sudden breathing worsening, chest pain, or vision changes. This medicine does not treat acute bronchospasm; use a rescue inhaler for sudden symptoms.

Drug Interactions and Cautions

Tell your healthcare professional about all medicines and supplements. Notable interactions may include:

• Strong CYP3A4 inhibitors such as ketoconazole
• Other anticholinergics, which may increase side effects
• Nonselective beta blockers, which may reduce bronchodilation
• MAOIs or tricyclic antidepressants, which require caution
• Diuretics that can lower potassium

Use caution if you have cardiovascular disease, arrhythmias, seizures, osteoporosis, thyroid disease, narrow-angle glaucoma, or urinary retention. Discuss risks and benefits with your prescriber.

What to Expect Over Time

With consistent daily use, maintenance therapy can help improve breathing comfort and reduce exacerbations. Some people notice steadier control over weeks of regular use. Keep taking it as prescribed, even on good days. Track symptom patterns, rescue inhaler use, and activity tolerance. Share this information during follow-ups so your clinician can assess control and adjust your plan if needed.

Compare With Alternatives

Alternatives in the same device family include dual-therapy options. Umeclidinium with vilanterol is available as Anoro® Ellipta, which contains a LAMA plus LABA. Fluticasone furoate with vilanterol is available as Breo® Ellipta, which contains an ICS plus LABA. Your prescriber will choose based on your diagnosis, prior therapy, and response.

For those seeking a Canadian pharmacy Trelegy Ellipta option, this page provides details to discuss with your clinician.

Patient Suitability and Cost-Saving Tips

Good candidates often include adults with COPD who need triple therapy, or adults with asthma not controlled on dual therapy. It may not be suitable if you have severe milk protein allergy or certain uncontrolled conditions noted above. Use one pharmacy and keep an updated medication list to help your care team check for interactions.

To manage costs, consider multi-month refills if your prescriber agrees, which can reduce per-shipment fees. Set refill reminders before the dose counter runs low.
