Good Morning, I Was Curious If Anyone Is Taking Advair And Trelegy As Treatment For COPD?

Donna, I only have used Trelegy and it has helped.
But I have never heard of anyone using both! I agree with Rolland on this issue. You need to clarify with your doctor as you are double dosing and that can be harmful.

Hi Donna. I trust you are using both meds with your Doc's approval. But the ingredients in them are overlapping. Usually, once we are moved to the "Triple therapy" brands like Breztri or Trellegy - the other inhalers go away.

You can investigate this by reading the Side effects for Advair and Trelegy by clicking on the blue words in the post here and then having à chat with your Doc.

@A MyCOPDTeam Member🙇‍♀️🙌 Good Morning 😃 I have used Advair for over 20 years. This year I had to switch to the Advair HFA. My insurance wouldn’t cover the Diskus anymore. I’m so glad for the switch. It’s been a huge blessing for me. Believe I tried the Trelegy once but I do better with the Advair.
God Bless you and Breathe Easy

I tried Trelegy for a few days but side effects from the steroids (anxiety, irritability) were too much. Spiriva seems to work pretty well without the side effects.
