Does anyone else have trouble with the inhaler Trelegy?

It makes me gag and feels like it’s stuck in my throat.

  1. I have been on it about 6 weeks, and it's not bothering me. I just try to take a deep breath and suck it back as far as I can. Some days work better than others. You should definately let your Dr. know, because if you're having trouble, you probably aren't getting all the meds. Good luck

    1. Hi nanadee - Excellent advice! It's good to hear that it hasn't been a problem for you, hopefully that continues. I agree though, if a person is having problems speak to your doctor. There are so many choices for medications now.

  2. HI DLB2 - I'm sure you're using it correctly, but just in case I thought the following video might be helpful. It sounds more like the medication itself is just not agreeing with you, so if that's the case you should speak to your doctor about making a change.
