Important Safety Information

TRELEGY contains vilanterol. Long-acting beta₂-adrenergic agonist (LABA) medicines such as vilanterol, when used alone, increase the risk of hospitalizations and death from asthma problems. TRELEGY contains an inhaled corticosteroid (ICS), an anticholinergic, and a LABA. When an ICS and LABA are used together, there is not a significant increased risk in hospitalizations and death from asthma problems.
Do not use TRELEGY to relieve sudden breathing problems. Always have a rescue inhaler with you to treat sudden symptoms.
TRELEGY should not be used in children younger than 18 years of age. It is not known if TRELEGY is safe and effective in children.

SETTING A STRONG EXAMPLE

JAMAUR SCAIFE
TRENTON, NEW JERSEY

JAMAUR:
My name is Jamaur Scaife, and I'm from Trenton, New Jersey. I have my wife, and I have three boys and a daughter. Love my family. It definitely is a lot of work, but at the same time, you're like, wow, this is what life is about.

JAMAUR:
I'm working hard so my family don't have to work as hard as I did growing up. Working in psych—it’s a very, very stressful job. I deal with so many different type of patients. It's a lot. Thank you!

JAMAUR:
I found out at a young age—going into high school, I had breathing problems. I’d be playing, but I got to stop and take a break.

JAMAUR:
And when asthma bothers you, it starts, like, you start to feel it, like, coming up to your throat and in your lungs—it’s, it’s a horrible feeling. The chest pains, the wheezing… and that's when I told my mom, like, like, I can't breathe, something's going on here. My mom took me to the doctor’s, and the doctor said, “He has asthma.”

JAMAUR:
I had to limit playing with my friends. It was definitely a challenge. I never had a serious asthma attack to where I had to go to the hospital, but I had it to the point where it felt like a panic attack. So I'm kind of constantly just taking inhalers, just to try to get the breath of fresh air.

JAMAUR:
A few years ago, it hit me the most when I couldn’t play with my kids at the park. There were times where we did go to the park, and I just fought through the breathing issues. So that was definitely something that's not a good feeling. Every father wants to be in their kid's life.

JAMAUR:
As far as playing with them—I’m like, if I can't even catch up to my two-year-old… who can't catch up to a two-year-old? Something's not right; something has to be done. So I felt like, oh no, I'm not going to keep going through this. I've learned over the years that if you just sit around and do nothing, it's gonna make things worse.

JAMAUR:
So I said, “Enough is enough.” It's time to make something happen; I'm going to try to find the right medication. And my medical doctor and my pulmonologist said, “Listen, we got this medication. You can try it.”

JAMAUR:
And that's how we got the ball rolling with TRELEGY. This is a medication, for me, that really works. Things just started getting better.

TEXT ONSCREEN:
Individual results may vary.

JAMAUR:
I take TRELEGY in the morning, every day. I have a rescue inhaler because you still have those moments where you can't control it, you might feel a little out of breath, so that's when I just try to listen to my body at those times.

JAMAUR:
Asthma—it’s, never go away. I think it's just going to be something that I'm going to have to manage and control. Before, I couldn't just say, “Okay, let's go.” It was more of, “We'll do it tomorrow,” or “We'll do it later.”

JAMAUR:
I'm ready to go to the park before they are now. TRELEGY has allowed me to continue to do the things that I want to do. I'm just thankful that I am able to run with them, laugh with them, joke with them, and just, and just be me. I love you. Oh, my!
