Because the ingredients in Trelegy Ellipta are effective for 24 hours, for it to work properly you only need to take it once a day, at the same time every day. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember but take no more than one puff per day. After that, revert back to taking your dose at your usual time.1,4-5
