Interaction
Interaction with beta-adrenoblockers:
Beta-adrenoblockers may impair or interfere with the action of beta2-adrenoreceptor agonists such as vilanterol. Cardioselective beta-adrenoceptors should be considered if beta-adrenoceptors are necessary; however, caution should be exercised when both non-selective and selective beta-adrenoceptors are used concomitantly.
Interaction with CYP3A4 isoenzyme inhibitors:
Vilanterol and fluticasone furoate, components of Trelagee Ellipta, undergo rapid primary metabolism in the liver involving the cytochrome P450 isoenzyme CYP3A4. Caution should be exercised when concomitant use of the drug with strong CYP3A4 isoenzyme inhibitors (e.g., ketoconazole, ritonavir), because increased systemic effects of vilanterol and fluticasone furoate are possible, which in turn may lead to increased risk of adverse reactions.
Other long-acting antimuscarinic agents and long-acting beta2-adrenoceptor agonists:
The concomitant use of Trelagee Ellipt and other long-acting antimuscarinic agents or long-acting beta2-adrenoceptor agonists has not been studied and is not recommended because it may increase adverse reactions.
Directions for use
The first time you use your Ellipt inhaler, there is no need to check that it works correctly or to prepare your inhaler for use. Just consistently follow the recommendations for use below.
The Ellipta Inhaler carton contains:
The inhaler is packaged in a container. Do not open the container until you are ready to inhale the medicine. When you are ready to use your inhaler, remove the lid from the container. The container contains a desiccant packet to reduce humidity. Do not open this bag, it is not intended to be eaten or inhaled and should be discarded.
When you take the inhaler out of the container, its lid is in the closed position. Do not open it until you are ready to inhale the medicine. Write the date on the label of the inhaler in the designated “Use Before” box that corresponds to the date of opening plus 6 weeks. Do not use the inhaler after this date.
The following are step-by-step instructions for using your Ellipt inhaler.
I. Read the following information before using
When you open and close the lid of the Ellipt inhaler without taking the medicine, one dose is lost. This dose remains closed inside the inhaler, but it will not be available to take. You cannot accidentally get a large dose or a double dose in one inhalation.
II. Preparing the dose
Do not open the lid until you are ready to take the medicine.
Do not shake the inhaler.
- Lift the lid down until you hear a click.
- The dose of medicine is ready for inhalation and the dose counter decreases the number of doses by one to confirm this.
- If the dose counter has not reduced the number of doses after you hear the click, then the inhaler is not ready to deliver the dose of medication. If this happens, call or write to the number or address listed in the section called “The organization that receives complaints about the quality of the medicine and reports of adverse reactions.
- Never shake the inhaler.
III. Inhalation of medication
- Hold the inhaler some distance from your mouth and exhale as deeply as possible. Do not breathe into the inhaler.
- Place the mouthpiece between your lips and wrap your lips tightly around it. Do not cover the vent with your fingers.
- Please take one long, even, deep breath through your mouth. Hold your breath as long as possible (at least 3-4 seconds).
- Remove the inhaler from your mouth.
- Inhale slowly and calmly.
Even if you use your inhaler correctly, you may not taste or feel the medicine coming in.
If you want to wipe the mouthpiece, do so before you close the lid, using a dry tissue.
IV. Closing the inhaler and rinsing the mouthpiece
- Lift the lid as far as it will go, ensuring that the mouthpiece is completely closed.
- After inhalation, you should rinse your mouth with water without swallowing it. This will reduce the chance of side effects such as inflammation in the mouth or throat.
The inhaler should be kept at room temperature for at least one hour before being used in the refrigerator.
Special Instructions
Trelegi Ellipta has not been evaluated in patients with bronchial asthma, so the use of this drug for therapy in this group of patients is not recommended.
Exacerbations
The drug Trelegi Ellipta is intended for maintenance therapy of COPD. The drug should not be used to relieve acute symptoms, i.e. as emergency therapy to treat acute episodes of bronchospasm. A short-acting inhaled bronchodilator should be used to relieve acute symptoms. An increase in the frequency of use of short-acting bronchodilators to relieve symptoms indicates a worsening of disease control, in which case the patient should consult a physician. Patients should not discontinue treatment with Trelagee Ellipta without medical advice and monitoring, as symptoms may return after discontinuation.
Paradoxical bronchospasm
As with other types of inhalation therapy, use of the drug may cause paradoxical bronchospasm accompanied by a rapid increase in wheezing, which may be life threatening. Treatment with Treleji Ellipta should be stopped immediately, the patient should be examined by a physician, and if necessary, alternative therapy should be prescribed.
Patients with impaired liver function
Patients with moderate to severe impaired liver function using Treleji Ellipta require monitoring for the development of systemic adverse reactions associated with glucocorticosteroid use.
Systemic effects of glucocorticosteroids
Systemic adverse reactions may occur with the use of inhaled glucocorticosteroids (especially with long-term use at high doses). These reactions occur much less frequently than when using oral glucocorticosteroids. The manifestations of possible adverse systemic effects include: suppression of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal system function, decreased bone mineral density, cataract and glaucoma.
Pneumonia
In keeping with the known effects of the class of inhaled glucocorticosteroids, cases of pneumonia (including pneumonia leading to hospitalization) have been observed in COPD patients using Trelage Ellipta. In some cases, when using inhaled drugs containing the glucocorticosteroid fluticasone furoate, including Treleji Ellipta, cases of pneumonia with a fatal outcome have been reported. Physicians should be aware of the possible development of pneumonia in patients with COPD, since clinical signs of this infectious disease coincide with symptoms of COPD exacerbation Risk factors for pneumonia in patients with COPD using inhaled glucocorticosteroid-containing medications include smoking, a history of pneumonia, low body mass index and severe COPD. These factors should be considered when prescribing therapy with Trelagee Ellipta, and treatment should be reconsidered if pneumonia occurs.
Contraindications
Patients with a history of severe allergic reactions to milk protein;
Patients with a history of hypersensitivity to the components of this combined agent;
Children under 18 years of age.
With caution:
Adverse cardiovascular reactions such as arrhythmias (e.g., atrial fibrillation and tachycardia) may occur after using sympathomimetics and muscarinic receptor antagonists, including vilanterol and umeclidinium. In this regard, patients with severe forms of cardiovascular disease should prescribe Treleji Ellipta with caution. Given the antimuscarinic activity of this drug, it should be prescribed with caution in patients with closed-angle glaucoma or urinary retention. As with other medications that include glucocorticosteroids, Treleji Ellipta should be prescribed with caution in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis and in patients with chronic or untreated infections.
Side effects
Data from clinical studies
The safety profile of Treligi Ellipt is based on data from 911 patients with COPD who used the drug at doses of 22 mcg + 55 mcg + 92 mcg once daily. The safety profile of Trelagee Ellipt is based on data from 911 patients with COPD who used the drug at 22 mcg + 55 mcg + 92 mcg once daily for up to 24 weeks (of which 210 patients used the drug at 22 mcg + 55 mcg + 92 mcg/dose once daily for up to 52 weeks) during a phase III clinical trial with the active comparison drug.

Description of individual adverse reactions
Pneumonia
Of 1810 patients with late-stage COPD (mean forced expiratory volume (FEF1) at screening after bronchodilator use was 45% of the predicted value, standard deviation (SD) 13%) of which 65% of patients had a moderate/severe exacerbation of COPD in the year prior to study inclusion, the incidence of pneumonia was higher in patients using Trelage Ellipta (20 patients, 2%) than in patients using the budesonide-formoterol combination (7 patients, <1%).
Pneumonia requiring hospitalization developed in 1% of patients who used Trelagee Ellipta and in less than 1% of patients who used the budesonide-formoterol combination for up to 24 weeks. One case of fatal pneumonia was reported in a patient who used Trelagi Ellipta. In a subgroup of 430 patients treated for up to 52 weeks, the incidence of pneumonia reported in the groups treated with Trelagi Ellipta and the budesonide-formoterol combination was similar at 2%.
The incidence of pneumonia with Treleji Ellipta was comparable to that observed in the group receiving the combination of vilanterol and fluticasone furoate at a dose of 22 mcg + 92 mcg/dose in clinical trials using a combination of vilanterol and fluticasone furoate for COPD.
Overdose
During clinical trials no data on overdose with Treleji Ellipta were found.
Symptoms and signs
Overdose with Treleji Ellipta may cause the development of signs, symptoms or adverse effects due to the pharmacological effects of the individual drug components.
Treatment
There is no specific treatment of overdose with Treleji Ellipta. In case of overdose, if necessary, supportive treatment with proper monitoring should be carried out.
The possibility of using cardioselective beta-adrenoblockers should be considered only in case of pronounced effects of vilanterol overdose, which are of clinical significance and do not respond to measures of supportive therapy. Cardioselective beta-adrenoblockers should be prescribed with caution in patients with a history of bronchospasm.
Further management should be performed in accordance with clinical indications.
Pregnancy use
Use during pregnancy is indicated only when the estimated benefit to the mother exceeds the potential risk to the fetus. During the treatment period it is necessary to decide whether to stop breastfeeding.
