Has anyone used Trelegy?

I have been on Advair HFA for a long time, over 10 years. My COPD per tests today is stable, but I have wondered if I should switch to something different. I did not know the doctor I saw today but I had had a PFT test, shared my thoughts about being so long on Advair & she right off the bat suggested Trelogy. A once a day discus inhaler, bye bye to Advair & Incruse! Now that I have switched, I am anxious, primarily because I didn't get to discuss this with her. OR my doctor! I am going to try to contact him tomorrow but meanwhile would like to hear from anyone re Trelogy &/or Advair.

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

Trelegy has been a life saver for me. It contains 3 medications, so its much easier than using 3 inhalers. It also makes me feel better. I pray everyone finds the right inhaler that helps you feel better.

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.

I have used trilogy for 10 years now and it works very well for me. My insurance covers it so my monthly cost is about $50 until I reach my donut hole and then it jumps to about $180 for the balance of the year, when it comes to my breathing, I guess I just need to be able to breathe whatever it takes.

For me trilogy has been the best. I can feel it when I don’t use it and when I do, I can breathe. I am currently at 5000 feet above sea level so breathing is very difficult and I have to use a rescue inhaler during the day even with trilogy, but I can tell right away when I don’t use the trilogy that I can’t breathe at all

I currently use Trelegy and have for about 8 or 10 months. I use oxygen 24/7 now. I used to be able to get by without it when watching TV or at the computer or anything where I was sitting still. I used to use Combivent Respimat as my primary inhaler and now I use it as a secondary inhaler. I think I like the Combivent better. I have been getting the Trelegy for free but that ends at the end of this year. I think I will go back to Combivent as my primary inhaler.

I have used it for two years. It's very helpful. I have bronchitis, asthma, and COPD.
