Trelegy Ellipta Toxicity & Overdose Risk

Taking fluticasone furoate through the nose may lead to a decrease in the body's adrenal hormones or a longer than usual heartbeat. No dose adjustments are needed for those with kidney problems, but those with liver problems should use caution. Fluticasone has not been linked to cancer, mutations, or infertility. There is not much data on how it affects pregnant women or babies, though animal studies have shown that it can cause birth defects and low adrenal hormones in offspring. Children should be given the lowest dose possible and monitored for any growth delays. Elderly patients should also be monitored closely as they may need a different

Trelegy Ellipta for Bronchospasm Prevention with COPD

Trelegy has been a godsend for my stage 4 COPD. It's prevented exacerbations and flare-ups since I started using it four months ago. The only side effect I've noticed is some gunk around my eyes in the morning, but that's nothing compared to how well this medication works. Be sure to rinse your mouth out after use or you'll get thrush, though. Overall, managing COPD is a lot easier with Trelegy.

I had been taking Spiriva, but it wasn't very effective. Trelegy has given me my life back. Recently I was on vacation and did a lot of walking without needing a wheelchair or stops to catch my breath. It's wonderful. Thanks GSK!

Trelegy Ellipta for Bronchospasm Prevention with COPD

Trelegy has been an absolute godsend. I never smoked, but severe asthma starting when I was four years old led to lung damage as the years went by. Trelegy is the best thing that's ever happened to me in terms of managing my condition.

Trelegy Ellipta for Controller Medication for Asthma

Advair was my maintenance medication for many years, but it gradually lost its effectiveness. However, the first day after using Trelegy, I found that I didn't need to use my rescue inhaler as often. I'm very pleased with this product and haven't experienced any negative side effects.

Trelegy Ellipta for Bronchospasm Prevention with COPD

Though this treatment helped my copd for a little while, I found that after 6 or 8 hours I was right back to feeling short of breath and wheezing. This is supposed to be a once-a-day medication, but I had to use my nebulizer and emergency inhaler the rest of the day.

Trelegy Ellipta for Prevention of Bronchospasms with Emphysema

I find that all breathing aids provide me with temporary relief at best, and often leave me feeling more congested than before. At $472, this is an ineffective and overpriced medication.

Within two days of taking this medication, my left parotid gland (responsible for producing saliva) began to swell. I'm not sure if the powder from the drug caused a blockage that led to the swelling.

I got sick after using this treatment for only eleven days out of the fourteen day sample. I had the flu for two weeks and then developed thrush. I still don't feel back to normal even a month later.

If you experience serious allergic reactions, you should seek medical attention immediately."

MoblO2 for Chronic Lung Diseases

18+
All Sexes
Stanford, CA

Many patients with chronic lung disease (e.g., chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or interstitial lung disease (ILD)) require supplemental oxygen (O2) at some point during their disease course. Practitioners prescribe O2 to patients with chronic lung disease in hopes of the following: 1) that it will limit desaturation events and combat breathlessness, thus preventing the frustratingly slow pace and numerous rest breaks patients are forced to adopt while doing even simple tasks; 2) that it will allow patients to be more active physically (perhaps increase their ability to exercise) and socially (perhaps leave the home more often); 3) that it will stave off putative complications of hypoxemia (e.g., cognitive dysfunction, pulmonary hypertension) and 4) that it will improve health-related quality of life (HRQL). However, despite the rationale for O2, and prescribers' good intentions, patients generally view O2 with frustration and fear - it threatens their HRQL, which is already impaired by having a condition that imposes itself on every aspect of their lives. Nasal cannulas and delivery devices call unwanted attention to patients when they are out in public. O2 users feel stigmatized and are often viewed as "smokers who get what they deserve, even if they never smoked a day in their lives" - or as disabled, sick or even infectious. O2 steals patients' independence, forcing them to plan their lives around it. The anxiety that patients and their caregivers experience around running out of oxygen, or not getting enough, immobilizes them and restricts participation in activities outside of the home. O2 disrupts the home environment, adding stress, and creating a burden for patients' caregiver-loved-ones who are often saddled with the responsibility of ensuring adequate equipment and supply of O2, and O2 is a constant reminder to patients they are living with a condition that could shorten their lives. O2 delivery equipment is typically heavy, unwieldy and intimidating. Different recommendations (e.g., insurance companies use 88% as a cut-off for SpO2, while many practitioners focus on 90%) make it confusing for patients, which almost certainly affects adherence. O2-requiringpatients are starving for things that can make their lives easier. An auto-adjusting O2 delivery device - one that automatically delivers the correct amount of O2 to maintain blood oxygen at desired, pre-set levels - would alleviate the need for patients to constantly (incessantly for many) monitor their peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2) and adjust O2flow to meet the demands as exertion levels vary . The MoblO2 device is a battery-operated, light-weight, closed-loop O2 delivery device that houses a regulator (which attaches to compressed gas O2 tanks) and adjusts O2 flow to meet a pre-set blood oxygen level. A pulse oximeter is worn on the ear and transmits via Bluetooth to the device, which adjusts an internal valve to control flow on a second-to-second basis. The user sets the dial to the highest flow of O2 needed to meet the demands of activities they might perform (up to 15 liters per minute), and the device adjusts flow, up to the pre-set level to maintain SpO2 at a preset level (e.g., \> 90%). To conserve O2 supply in the tank - and to avoid over-oxygenation (which could be problematic for a small percentage of patients with the most severe COPD) - the MoblO2 begins to limit O2 flow at a SpO2 of 93%. The device can be manually over-ridden by the user, and should the battery run out - or the device fail for some unforeseen reason - the default position is valve open, so the users receive whatever flow of oxygen has been set on the dial. Given the substantial burdens of O2 on patients and their families, the hassles patients describe with having to monitor their SpO2 and repeatedly adjust the flow of O2 to meet their needs, patients and experts around the world have called for improvements in O2 delivery equipment. The MoblO2 is just such a remarkable improvement and a giant step forward in helping to ease the burdens of O2 on patients who require it. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of the MoblO2 O2 delivery device on a range of outcomes, including physical activity, amount (liters) O2 use; maintenance of adequate SpO2 levels; patient reported outcomes including symptoms, HRQL and satisfaction with the MoblO2 O2 device.
