Important Safety Information
This is not a complete list of all possible side effects. Contact your healthcare provider if you experience any unexpected symptoms. For serious or life-threatening side effects, seek emergency medical attention immediately.
6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following clinically significant adverse reactions are described elsewhere in labeling: • Serious Asthma-Related Events – Hospitalizations, Intubations, Death [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )] • Oropharyngeal Candidiasis [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.4 )] • Increased Risk of Pneumonia in COPD [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.5 )] • Immunosuppression and Risk of Infections [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.6 )] • Hypercorticism and Adrenal Suppression [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.8 )] • Paradoxical Bronchospasm [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.10 )] • Cardiovascular Effects [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.12 )] • Reduction in Bone Mineral Density [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.13 )] • Worsening of Narrow-Angle Glaucoma [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.14 )] • Worsening of Urinary Retention [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.15 )] Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared with rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.
• COPD: Most common adverse reactions (incidence ≥1%) are upper respiratory tract infection, pneumonia, bronchitis, oral candidiasis, headache, back pain, arthralgia, influenza, sinusitis, pharyngitis, rhinitis, dysgeusia, constipation, urinary tract infection, diarrhea, gastroenteritis, oropharyngeal pain, cough, and dysphonia.
( 6.1 ) • Asthma: Most common adverse reactions (incidence ≥2%) are pharyngitis/nasopharyngitis, upper respiratory tract infection/viral upper respiratory tract infection, bronchitis, respiratory tract infection/viral respiratory tract infection, sinusitis/acute sinusitis, urinary tract infection, rhinitis, influenza, headache, and back pain.

6.1 Clinical Trials Experience in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease The safety of TRELEGY ELLIPTA in COPD is based on the safety data from two 12-week treatment trials with coadministration of umeclidinium and the fixed-dose combination of fluticasone furoate/vilanterol and a 52-week long-term trial of TRELEGY ELLIPTA 100/62.5/25 mcg compared with the fixed-dose combinations of fluticasone furoate/vilanterol and umeclidinium/vilanterol [see Clinical Studies ( 14.1 )] .
Trials 1 and 2 Two 12-week treatment trials (Trial 1 and Trial 2) evaluated the coadministration of umeclidinium + fluticasone furoate/vilanterol, the components of TRELEGY ELLIPTA, compared with placebo + fluticasone furoate/vilanterol.
A total of 824 subjects with COPD across two 12-week, randomized, double-blind clinical trials received at least 1 dose of umeclidinium 62.5 mcg + fluticasone furoate/vilanterol 100/25 mcg or placebo + fluticasone furoate/vilanterol 100/25 mcg administered once daily (mean age: 64 years, 92% White, 66% male across all treatments) [see Clinical Studies ( 14.1 )] .
The incidence of adverse reactions associated with the use of umeclidinium 62.5 mcg + fluticasone furoate/vilanterol 100/25 mcg presented in Table 2 is based on the two 12-week trials.
Adverse Reactions with Umeclidinium + Fluticasone Furoate/Vilanterol with ≥1% Incidence and More Common than Placebo + Fluticasone Furoate/Vilanterol in Subjects with COPD (Trials 1 and 2) Umec = Umeclidinium, FF/VI = Fluticasone Furoate/Vilanterol.

5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS • LABA monotherapy increases the risk of serious asthma-related events.
( 5.1 ) • Do not initiate in acutely deteriorating COPD or asthma.
Do not use to treat acute symptoms.
( 5.2 ) • Do not use in combination with additional therapy containing a LABA because of risk of overdose.
( 5.3 ) • Candida albicans infection of the mouth and pharynx may occur.
Like all medications, Trelegy Ellipta can cause side effects. However, not everyone who takes this medication will experience them. Many side effects are dose-dependent and may improve as your body adjusts to the medication. Others may require dose adjustment or medical attention.
