The patient started to feel like he had the flu within 12 hours of the vaccine. On day 3 the patient had a sudden onset of not being able to urinate and when he did it was a dribble and extremely painful, it lasted for almost a week. The patient stopped Trelegy about 4 days into this as he saw that it might be a side effect.

The patient stated that Trelegy had done a great job with his COPD. The only other side effect the patient noticed was that he had more leg cramps at night when taking Trelegy. The wanted to know if GlaxoSmithKline had any guidance on this. The patient reiterated that again, it had been terrific treating his COPD.
