Description
Description
Trelegy Ellipta contains fluticasone, umeclidinium, and vilanterol in an inhalation powder.
The steroid fluticasone prevents inflammation on the body by preventing the release of inflammatory substances. A cholinergic agent, umeclidinium is an anticholinergic. The bronchodilator Vilanterol works by relaxing the airways. Breathing is improved by relaxing muscles in the airways with these medications.
Among adults with COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) such as bronchitis and emphysema, Trelegy Ellipta is used to improve symptoms and prevent bronchospasm.
Asthma symptoms such as wheezing are also controlled with Trelegy Ellipta for adults. A person who has asthma experiences tightening, swelling, and irritation of the muscles surrounding the smaller airways (bronchoconstriction). Breathing problems, coughing, chest tightness, and wheezing are some of the symptoms that come and go.
The symptoms of COPD slowly worsen over time. Mucus can be coughed up while coughing up shortness of breath, chest discomfort, and shortness of breath.
Asthma or bronchospasm attacks cannot be treated with Trelegy Ellipta.
In people with asthma, Vilanterol alone may increase the risk of death. When combined with fluticasone and umeclidinium, vilanterol does not increase this risk.
You can only obtain this medication with a doctor’s prescription.
