Trelegy Ellipta (fluticasone propionate 200 µg + salmeterol xinafoate 62.5 µg + tiotropium bromide 25 µg) is a once‑daily inhaler used for maintenance treatment of COPD. Because the price of prescription drugs in the U.S. (and elsewhere) depends on insurance coverage, formulary tier, pharmacy location, and whether you’re using a discount card or manufacturer’s savings program, there isn’t a single “official” price you can quote.
| Factor | Typical impact on cost | What to do |
|--------|-----------------------|------------|
| Insurance | If your plan is a preferred pharmacy tier and covers the drug, you might pay only a copay (often $5–$25). | Check your plan’s formulary or call your insurer. |
| Manufacturer’s discount cards | Trelegy may offer a savings card that can reduce the out‑of‑pocket cost to as low as $0–$10 for the first 90 days. | Apply online at the GSK or Pfizer website (the manufacturer’s sites). |
| Generic availability | Currently there is no generic version of Trelegy; the brand is still under patent. | Expect a higher price than generics. |
| Pharmacy type | Some large chain pharmacies or specialty pharmacies may have negotiated lower wholesale prices, while mail‑order or online pharmacies may offer lower patient prices. | Compare prices at a few pharmacies, or use pharmacy discount tools like GoodRx. |
| Location | Prices can vary by state and even city due to local pharmacy pricing. | Ask your local pharmacy for a price estimate. |
Rough ballpark (for 30‑day supply)
| Scenario | Approximate cost |
|----------|------------------|
| With insurance, copay tier 1 | $5–$25 per month |
| Without insurance (out‑of‑pocket) | $150–$250 per month (before any discount card) |
| With discount card | $0–$15 per month (for the first 90 days) |
These figures are approximate and can change based on your insurance plan and pharmacy.
How to get an accurate quote
1. Call your pharmacy – Provide the exact brand name and strength (200 µg/62.5 µg/25 µg) and ask for a 30‑day price.
2. Use a price‑comparison tool – Sites like GoodRx, Blink Health, or pharmacy.com let you enter the drug name and see multiple pharmacy prices.
3. Ask your prescriber – They may have a preferred pharmacy with negotiated savings.
4. Check manufacturer savings – Go to the GSK or Pfizer website, enter your ZIP code, and apply for a savings card.
Extra tips
- Check for medication assistance programs. Some foundations or nonprofit programs provide free or low‑cost medication for qualifying patients.
- Ask if you’re eligible for a mail‑order or pharmacy benefit manager (PBM) program. These can sometimes lower cost.
- Consider the “patient assistance program.” Even if you have insurance, some manufacturers offer free or low‑cost medication if you meet certain criteria.
If you’re looking for a specific number, the best source is your pharmacy or insurance provider. Feel free to let me know if you’d like help navigating the discount cards or assistance programs!
