Has anyone used Trelegy?

Hello @guinivere, I'd like to invite @jenicamom, @smd0109, @kathleenkapes and @ead to this conversation to share their experiences with Trelegy. Each has been prescribed Trelegy for different reasons but may be able to offer some experiences they have had with it.

I started on a Dulara inhaler. I was shortly moved in to Trelegy Ellipta 200. I was unable to detect the difference . You are probably the best judge of the comparison you speak of. Try the Trelegy for a bit and see how you react to it. It is a tier 3 drug on my Advantage plan. I am having to change plans for 2025. My plan has set the copay on it at 25% for 2025. My cost would be over 200$ a month. Watch your benefit position if you are on this drug . I wish you love and light , Crys

Previously I was on brestri. Due to rheumatoid arthritis I had trouble pressing the dispenser quick enough to get the dose. Hence, the doctor put me on trelegy. I was just wondering if my various issues might be related to the trelegy. They are not always consistent so it could be allergy or something. I plan to discuss it with the doctor at my visit this month.

I went from Trelegy to Breztri and find that the Breztri worked better for me. However, I do not know who designed the inhaler but it is extremely difficult to manipulate and use. I have voiced my concerns to the Rep, via web-site and whoever I can think of. The vessel for administration is terrible and I fear that there are many lost doses simply because of the design of the inhaler. Are you using an spacer with your inhalers....that may ease using it in light of your arthritis. Especially if you used it prior and are now having issues by switching to Trelegy.

I also went from Advair to Trelegy. Coughing and breathing are much improved. I have not noted any difficulty

I was on Trelegy for about three weeks and during that time, I developed itchy hives/rash on the inside of both my arms. The rash went away when I discontinued Trelegy. Interesting that I did not notice any improvements with my coughing or breathing during the time I used Trelegy.

Be careful with all advantage plans. Many hospitals do not accept or have very high copayment. A supplement is a much better choice. In the long run more cost effective.

I screen my plan very carefully . I will be changing it for 2025. The price of Trelegy is the reason. BB , Crys

Thanks for this. I have pretty much decided to stick with my Advair. I have been it for over 10 years & I don't see any reason to discontinue it. Thanks for your input.

I did trelegy for 1 1/2 yrs but can no longer get a good price on it. Seemed to work somewhat better for me than Wixela.
