Trelegy Ellipta Mechanism of Action

Trelegy Ellipta contains three medications. Fluticasone is a steroid and helps to lower inflammation and swelling in the airways. Umeclidinium is an anticholinergic medicine which blocks the action of a natural substance called acetylcholine and relaxes the muscles in the airways. Vilanterol is a long-acting beta agonist that works by relaxing and opening up the airways to make breathing easier.
