Once-daily triple therapy inhaler for COPD
Abstract
▼Trelegy Ellipta (GSK) is a dry powder inhaler containing fluticasone furoate (inhaled corticosteroid [ICS]), vilanterol trifenatate (long-acting beta2 agonist [LABA]) and umeclidinium bromide (long-acting muscarinic antagonist [LAMA]).1 It is licensed for once-daily use as maintenance treatment for adults with moderate to severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) who are not adequately treated by a combination of an ICS and a LABA. Here, we consider the evidence for this combination product and discuss how it fits with current management strategies.
