Posology

Administer 1 actuation of Trelegy Ellipta once daily by oral inhalation.

Populations

ASTHMA

Patients should be made aware that Trelegy Ellipta must be used regularly, even when asymptomatic.

If symptoms arise in the period between doses, an inhaled, short-acting beta₂-agonist should be taken for immediate relief.

Patients should be regularly reassessed by a healthcare professional so that the strength of Trelegy Ellipta they are receiving remains optimal and is only changed on medical advice.

Adults
The recommended starting dosage of Trelegy Ellipta for maintenance treatment of asthma is fluticasone furoate 100 mcg, umeclidinium 62.5 mcg, and vilanterol 25 mcg (1 actuation of Trelegy Ellipta 100/62.5/25 mcg) or fluticasone furoate 200 mcg, umeclidinium 62.5 mcg, and vilanterol 25 mcg (1 actuation of Trelegy Ellipta 200/62.5/25 mcg) once daily, by oral inhalation.

When choosing the starting dosage strength of Trelegy Ellipta, consider the patients’ disease severity; their previous asthma therapy, including the inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) dosage; as well as the patients’ current control of asthma symptoms and risk of future exacerbation.

The maximum recommended dosage is 1 inhalation of Trelegy Ellipta 200/62.5/25 mcg once daily.

For patients who do not respond adequately to Trelegy Ellipta 100/62.5/25 mcg once daily, increasing the dose to Trelegy Ellipta 200/62.5/25 mcg once daily may provide additional improvement in asthma control. For patients who do not respond adequately to Trelegy Ellipta 200/62.5/25 mcg once daily, re-evaluate and consider other therapeutic regimens and additional therapeutic options.

If asthma symptoms arise in the period between doses, an inhaled, short-acting beta₂-agonist (rescue medicine, e.g., albuterol) should be used for immediate relief.
