This seems to help the medicine work most effectively throughout the day,&#8221; she says.

Ultimately, it&#8217;s important to tell your healthcare provider about all adverse effects you notice after starting Trelegy Ellipta.

Dr. Youssef also says that for most patients, the benefits of Trelegy Ellipta (fewer flare-ups, easier breathing, and better quality of life) far outweigh the risks.
