I have been using Trelegy for over three years. It seems to help me more than anything else I’ve tried. The “rescue” inhalers didn’t seem to help at all.
I’m 79 years old, have late stage COPD, had the Zrphyr valve procedure done twice, in 2022 & 2023, with six valves in right lung & seven in left lung. I experienced no improvement, by 45% of patients do not.
My last pft1 was 34%. I try to stay active &, while using a cylinder providing 4 liters/minute, I try to walk a mile once a week.
When sitting still reading, etc., I’m able to breathe without supplemental oxygen, but any exertion at all requires 3-4 liters/minute.
I’m on the 100 mcg Trelegy; there is a 200mcg available, but my pulmonologist told me that it is as for Athena patients only.
