Postmarketing Palpitations, blurred vision, eye pain, glaucoma, intraocular pressure increase, hypersensitivity reactions (anaphylaxis, angioedema, rash, urticaria), hyperglycemia, muscle spasms, tremor, anxiety, dysuria, urinary retention
Pharmacology
Long-acting muscarinic antagonist (LAMA/anticholinergic); competitively and reversibly inhibits M3 receptors at airway smooth muscle to produce bronchodilation lasting longer than 24 hours after once-daily oral inhalation.
TRELEGY ELLIPTA combines fluticasone furoate (ICS), umeclidinium (long-acting muscarinic antagonist), and vilanterol (LABA); fluticasone furoate reduces airway inflammation via glucocorticoid receptor activation, umeclidinium produces bronchodilation through M3 muscarinic receptor inhibition, and vilanterol relaxes bronchial smooth muscle through beta2-adrenergic receptor stimulation and increased cyclic AMP.
