What should you know about trelegy for asthma?

Trelegy combines three inhaled medicines with different jobs: one reduces airway inflammation, one relaxes airway muscle for longer, and one blocks another pathway that can tighten the airways. It is a maintenance inhaler, not a substitute for an emergency reliever unless your prescriber gives different instructions. It is generally considered after an asthma review when symptoms remain troublesome despite suitable treatment.

Use Trelegy exactly as prescribed and at the same time each day. Check the device instructions, breathe in with the technique taught to you, and rinse your mouth after the dose to reduce mouth or throat irritation. Do not share the inhaler or change strength without advice. Keep a record of symptoms, night waking, reliever use, and possible triggers such as allergies, smoke, or exercise.

Get urgent help if breathing becomes severely difficult, you cannot speak comfortably, lips look blue or grey, or your reliever is not easing an attack according to your action plan. Contact your clinician promptly for worsening wheeze, chest tightness, persistent cough, tremor, racing heartbeat, or repeated mouth problems. A sudden change in control may need an asthma review.

Ask why Trelegy is being considered, which inhaler is your reliever, how to demonstrate your technique, and when your treatment should be reviewed. Discuss glaucoma, prostate or heart problems, pregnancy, allergies, and medicines that could interact with it.
