ASTHMA
TREATMENTS & MANAGEMENT

Treating asthma
When your asthma continues to be uncontrolled, it may be a sign that your current treatment isn’t cutting it. Because even if you’re taking a 2-in-1 treatment, your airways can still become narrowed and inflamed because of asthma—which can lead to difficulty breathing.
If so, it might be time to ask your doctor about TRELEGY—the first and only once-daily, 3-in-1 treatment for asthma.
Triple medicine. Triple impact.
With TRELEGY, 3 medicines work together in 1 inhaler to help you breathe better for a full 24 hours. Let’s break it down:
- LABA (long-acting beta2-adrenergic agonist) is a bronchodilator that opens airways by relaxing the muscles around the airways in your lungs
- ICS (inhaled corticosteroid) is an anti-inflammatory, meaning it reduces inflammation and swelling in your lungs
- LAMA (long-acting muscarinic antagonist) is another bronchodilator that keeps airways open by blocking the tightening of smooth muscle around your airways
Rescue inhalers vs maintenance treatments
TRELEGY is a maintenance treatment used long term to treat asthma in adults. It is not used to relieve sudden breathing problems and won’t replace a rescue inhaler. Always have a rescue inhaler with you to treat sudden symptoms.
Below are some of the main differences between rescue inhalers and maintenance treatments.
Rescue inhalers
- are short-acting asthma medicines that work quickly in case of sudden breathing problems
- are sometimes referred to as “quick relief”
- relax airway muscles within minutes and are generally effective for about 4 to 6 hours
Maintenance treatments
- are long-acting asthma medicines that are taken daily to help prevent symptoms from occurring
- include 1 (monotherapy), 2 (dual therapy), or 3 (triple therapy) asthma medicines delivered in 1 or more inhalers
Managing asthma
When it comes to managing your asthma, you’re in control. Take an active role in keeping up with your condition, starting with some of these actions:
Know when it’s uncontrolled
Knowing you have asthma is one thing, but knowing when it’s uncontrolled can make all the difference.
Stay on top of treatment
Be consistent with your medication so it can effectively treat your asthma.
Keep track of your symptoms
Taking the time to log your symptoms will help your doctor understand your unique situation.
Connect with your doctor
If your asthma is getting worse, don’t suffer in silence. Start a conversation with your doctor.
