Connections That Last

TRELEGY Ellipta once daily is indicated for maintenance treatment in adult patients with moderate-to-severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) who are not adequately treated by a combination of an ICS and a LABA, or a combination of a LAMA and a LABA.1

Fictional patient, for illustrative purposes only

The Trelegy Ellipta consists of three molecules an ICS, a LAMA and a LABA engineered for an uninterrupted 24-hour effect. These molecules are delivered in the Ellipta device.1,4,5,10-15

Patients with COPD found Ellipta easy to use compared with MDI (92% vs 44%) and Turbohaler (96% vs 55%)7-9

Who could benefit from TRELEGY Ellipta?

Male COPD patient portait

Meet John, he has COPD

He has been prescribed an ICS/LABA regimen as maintenance therapy and is at risk of exacerbation, defined as:

  • A worsening of symptoms, or
  • Has a history of an exacerbation, treated with antibiotics or oral corticosteroids, in the past 12 months

  • TRELEGY Ellipta safety profile

    Common adverse reactions: pneumonia, upper respiratory tract infection, bronchitis, pharyngitis, rhinitis, sinusitis, influenza, nasopharyngitis, candidiasis of mouth and throat, urinary tract infection, headache, cough, oropharyngeal pain, constipation, arthralgia, back pain1

    Pneumonia: in common with other corticosteroid-containing medicines, there is an increased risk of pneumonia in patients with COPD treated with TRELEGY Ellipta, including pneumonia requiring hospitalisation. There is no conclusive clinical evidence for intra-class differences in the magnitude of the pneumonia risk among inhaled corticosteroid products. Physicians should remain vigilant for the possible development of pneumonia in patients with COPD as the clinical features of such infections overlap with the symptoms of COPD exacerbations. Risk factors for pneumonia in patients with COPD include current smoking, older age, low body mass index and severe COPD1

    Cardiovascular: cardiovascular effects, such as cardiac arrhythmias (e.g. atrial fibrillation and tachycardia), may be seen after the administration of muscarinic receptor antagonists and sympathomimetics, including umeclidinium and vilanterol, respectively. Therefore, TRELEGY Ellipta should be used with caution in patients with unstable or life-threatening cardiovascular disease1
