About Trelegy Ellipta and its cost

What is this medication? Trelegy Ellipta is a prescription inhalation medication used for the long-term, once-daily maintenance treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, which includes conditions like chronic bronchitis and emphysema. It is also approved for the maintenance treatment of asthma in patients aged eighteen and older. The medication combines three different active ingredients—an inhaled corticosteroid, an anticholinergic, and a long-acting beta2-adrenergic agonist—to help improve lung function and reduce the frequency of respiratory flare-ups.

This medication works by reducing inflammation in the lungs and relaxing the muscles around the airways to keep them open over a twenty-four-hour period. It is designed to be used consistently every day to manage chronic symptoms rather than as a quick-relief treatment. It is important to note that Trelegy Ellipta is not a rescue inhaler and should not be used to treat sudden breathing problems or acute attacks of wheezing or shortness of breath.

Trelegy Ellipta is made by GSK. Like most brand-name drugs, it's priced at a high list price — but patients rarely pay that list price. The options above are the real paths most people use to get it affordably.

Common questions

What's the cheapest way to afford Trelegy Ellipta?

It depends on your insurance. On Medicare, apply for the manufacturer's Patient Assistance Program (PAP) — it gives the drug free if you meet income requirements. With private insurance, the manufacturer copay card usually drops your copay to $0-$25. Uninsured patients should compare the PAP with Cost Plus Drugs cash price.

Can I use a copay card with Medicare for Trelegy Ellipta?

No — federal law (the Anti-Kickback Statute) prohibits manufacturer copay cards on Medicare, Medicaid, TriCare, and VA prescriptions. But GSK has a separate Patient Assistance Program for Medicare beneficiaries. Check the options above.

Does my Medicare Part D plan cover Trelegy Ellipta?

Part D coverage varies by plan. We query the CMS Prescription Drug Plan file to show you what percentage of plans cover it and at what tier. For your exact copay, pick "Medicare" above and check your plan's Summary of Benefits, or log in to Medicare.gov.

How long does a Patient Assistance Program take?

Most PAPs take 2-6 weeks from application to first fill. Ask the manufacturer about a "bridge supply" — many will ship 30 days free while your application is being reviewed so you don't go without the drug.

What if I have a high-deductible plan?

For generics, Cost Plus Drugs cash price is often cheaper than your deductible-phase copay. For brand names, the manufacturer copay card almost always wins. A GoodRx coupon can be a last resort for uncovered drugs, but it doesn't count toward your deductible.

Are there charity grants for Asthma?

Charities like HealthWell Foundation, PAN Foundation, Good Days, and the National Organization for Rare Disorders provide copay help for specific conditions. Funds often run out mid-year — apply early. We list the specific grants for your condition in the options above.
