Alternative to Trelegy for COPD

Posted by patrick1000 @patrick1000, May 17 7:21am

Trelegy is way too expensive for me, I'm open to affordable options.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the COPD: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease Support Group.

Patrict1000 - unfortunately most of the inhalers are very expensive. Breztri is another option but i'm afraid that too is very pricey! The only one not is Ventolin and its only a rescue inhaler! Hopefully you will be able to find a program that will give you assistance with the pricing. Ask you physician to assist you or even the Drug Representative.

Breyna (generic Symbicort) contains 2 of the 3 meds in Trelegy, and is also less expensive.

I hope one of these ideas is helpful.

Thankyou, will try these. I do need all three but things are going up everywhere and need options.

@patrick1000 I've been on Trelegy for > 4 years and found it too expensive as well. I've resorted to sourcing it from Canadian pharmacies via internet at less than 50% the cost available via my drug plan. There are always questions about risk and drug efficacy sourcing out of US but if cost is the barrier to accessing the drug, it may be worth considering.
