One of the side effects reported in COPD patients is the development of pneumonia following a common cold. Consult with your physician if you have any of the following symptoms using Trelegy Ellipta, as these could be symptoms of a lung infection:

•     Fever or chills
•     Increased mucus production or change in mucus color
•     Increased cough or increased breathing difficulties.

Other common side effects include:

•     Sore, raised patches in the mouth or throat caused by a fungal infection (candidiasis).
•     Infection of the nose, sinuses or throat
•     Infection of the upper airways
•     Itchy, runny, or blocked nose
•     Pain in the back of the mouth and throat
•     Inflammation of the sinuses
•     Inflammation of the lungs (bronchitis)
•     Flu (influenza)
•     Headache
•     Cough
•     Hoarseness.

If these persist or worsen, consult with a healthcare provider.

If you experience either of the following reactions immediately after using the Trelegy Ellipta inhaler, stop using the medicine and seek medical help immediately, as you may have a serious condition:

•     Tightness of the chest, coughing, wheezing or breathlessness (may be signs of paradoxical bronchospasm).
•     Eye pain or discomfort, temporary blurring of vision, seeing halos or colored images, and red eyes (may be signs of an acute attack of narrow-angle glaucoma).

Asthma is a condition that inflames and narrows (broncho constricts) the lungs’ airways. It can lead to difficulty breathing and impaired lung function. Symptoms are sporadic, including shortness of breath, wheezing, chest tightness, and cough.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterized by breathing difficulties. It is a long-term condition that slowly gets worse. In COPD, the muscles around the airways tighten, making breathing difficult.

This medicine widens the muscles in the lungs, reduces the swelling and irritation in the small air passages, and makes it easier for air to pass in and out of the lungs. Regular use can help control breathing difficulties and reduce the effects of COPD.
