Some people have posted on this site about it. Do a search. I can't help because I haven't been on either of them. But it would appear that docs. Are changing to these 3 in 1 inhalers it must be cheaper. Some one may come along soon who is using it. You could also Google each one to see what's in both of them, and also what strenghts they are. But what suits 1, doesn't suit another. Sometimes you just have to suck it and see. Hope that helps.

Hi I started on Trelegy 3 weeks ago and have terrible headache and sore eyes, why oh why do doctors think it's not the medication! stopped Trelegy as it seems I have a bad sinus infection, Hey ho !!!

I was taking Trelegy for six weeks and have to say I did not like it. I got a dreadful sinus infection which progressed to my lungs This was over a month ago and I am still fighting the infection. On the other hand I did not have to use any other inhalers which was a bonus. I am back on Symbicort and Eklira now. Of course everyone is different and you may no get any side effects.Good luck with it.
