Description
What is Trelegy Ellipta?
Trelegy Ellipta (generic name: fluticasone, umeclidinium, & vilanterol) is a respiratory prescription inhalation that is indicated as maintenance treatment for people with asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, including chronic bronchitis and emphysema. It helps in controlling and preventing breathing symptoms, such as shortness of breath, coughing, and wheezing.
Trelegy Ellipta is a combination of an inhaled corticosteroid, an anticholinergic, and a long-acting beta2-adrenergic agonist (LABA).
This is available in Trelegy Ellipta 100/62.5/25 mcg and 200/62.5/25 mcg in 30 inhalations.
How does Trelegy Ellipta work?
Since Trelegy Ellipta is a combination of three different types of medication, it also has other actions. It has a wide range of actions on multiple cell types and mediators, which decrease inflammation. It also inhibits the m3 receptor at the smooth muscle, which results in bronchodilation. Lastly, it also increases cyclic adenosine monophosphate (AMP), which contributes to relaxing the bronchial smooth muscle and impedes the release of mediators of immediate hypersensitivity from cells.
