Trelegy Ellipta is a prescription medication used to treat chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), a group of diseases that includes chronic bronchitis and emphysema.

It is a single product containing 3 medications: fluticasone, vilanterol, and umeclidinium. Fluticasone is a steroid that reduces swelling in the airways. Vilanterol is a long-acting beta agonist (LABA) that works by relaxing the airway, making it easier to breathe. Umeclidinium is an inhaled anticholinergic that stops the muscles around the airways from tightening, making it easier to breathe.

This medication comes as an inhalation powder to inhale by mouth using a special inhaler. It is inhaled once daily, at the same time each day.

Common side effects of Trelegy Ellipta include headache, back pain, and taste disturbance.
