Hello, I have read about this fairly new medication which you take just once a day. It is supposed to be very good in helping you breathe easier.

Hi my pulmonary doc had me on Breo and Incruse. I didn't want to mess with what appeared to be working but I was with drug insurance paying around $300+ (for 3 months) for each . I asked if she recommended Trelogy and she was more than eager to have me try it. So now I pay for the one drug at the $300 price instead of two. And more importantly I see the same results and maybe even a tad improvement. Just as I did with the Breo I immediately rinse after using to prevent thrush.

Hi Sweetie 12. I was prescribed it about 6 months ago after being on Incrus and Relvar Elliptas. Works well for me. I read it works best if you hold your breath for 10 secs after inhaling it.

HI Sweetie, I was changed onto this early July and after a couple of days felt my breathing was worse so after consulting my GP went back onto my Ultibro inhaler. Then got another chest infection late July and after 3 weeks infection cleared but my breathing was still rubbish. GP suggested to try Trelegy again and to give it a longer trial. And guess what! for once she was right. After about 4-5 days breathing became easier and now I seem to be able to clear the rubbish off my chest easier and can walk further and even climb my stairs without collapsing in a heap at the top. Stick with it and remember to hold your breath as James48 said and to rinse your mouth out after using. Good luck.
