What is the cost of trelegy ellipta?

Trelegy Ellipta is a brand‑name inhaler that combines a corticosteroid (fluticasone furoate), a long‑acting muscarinic antagonist (umeclidinium), and a long‑acting beta‑agonist (vilanterol). Because it’s a combination drug, its price is higher than many single‑agent inhalers.

| What you’ll see | Typical Cost (US) |
|-----------------|-------------------|
| Retail (no insurance, 30‑day supply) | Roughly $200–$300 per month (≈ $240 on average). |
| Average Wholesale Price (AWP) | About $300–$350 for a 30‑day bottle. |
| Insurance copay | Depends on plan tier (often $30–$60 for a 30‑day supply on a co‑pay plan). |
| Generic alternative | No generic version is currently approved; the price remains the same. |

Why the price varies

• Pharmacy markup: Some pharmacies add a dispensing fee that can push the retail price higher.
  
• Insurance formulary placement: If Trelegy is on a preferred tier, your copay can be very low; if it’s on a non‑preferred tier, you might pay the full price.
  
• Coupons & assistance programs: GSK (the manufacturer) offers patient assistance and discount cards that can reduce the out‑of‑pocket cost by 20‑50 %.
  
• Geographic differences: Prices can differ by state or region and may be lower at chain pharmacies versus independent ones.
  
  

How to get the best price

1. Check your insurance formulary to see if Trelegy is a preferred drug and what your copay will be.
   
2. Ask your pharmacist about discount cards or manufacturer coupons.
   
3. Compare pharmacy prices (many sites let you compare a 30‑day supply).
   
4. Consider a patient assistance program if you’re uninsured or underinsured.
   
   > Tip: Even though Trelegy is costly, many patients find it worthwhile because it provides three medications in one inhaler, reducing the number of devices they must manage.
