Important general information

Here is some other useful information about Trelegy whatever condition you are using it to treat.

• It is important not to take the treatment more than the prescribed amount. Over medicating yourself could lead to being hit by some of the more serious side effects. 
• If you are taking Trelogy for something like asthma or COPD, keep in mind this is not a rescue treatment. When you experience a sudden worsening in breathing, also known as flare-ups or asthma attacks, Trelegy is not to be used as an emergency drug to manage those symptoms. It is to be used daily to manage symptoms.
• If you are the patient with Trelegy only you should be using it, do not let anyone else use it.
• After using the medication patients should rinse and spit with water as this lowers the chances of fungal infection.
• The medication should be stored safely at a temperature between 20c to 25c ie room temperature. It is okay if it experiences temperatures up to 30c for a short amount of time. It should not be left in direct sunlight. 
• When the medication has been opened it needs to be used within 6 weeks. If you get to that period of time and it has not been used up it should be discarded. Then you can open a new one.
