Flutide Inhaler (250 mcg + 10 mcg)/puff is a combination inhalation therapy containing Fluticasone Propionate, a potent inhaled corticosteroid, and Formoterol Fumarate, a long-acting beta2-agonist (LABA). This dual-action formulation is designed for the regular maintenance treatment of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), helping patients achieve better control of airway inflammation and bronchoconstriction.

Fluticasone Propionate works by reducing inflammation, swelling, and irritation in the airways, which are key factors in asthma and COPD. Formoterol Fumarate provides long-lasting bronchodilation by relaxing the smooth muscles of the airways, making breathing easier and reducing symptoms such as wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and coughing. Together, these two active ingredients offer comprehensive control of respiratory symptoms and improve overall lung function.

Indications

Flutide Inhaler is indicated for:

• Maintenance treatment of bronchial asthma in adults and adolescents.

• Patients not adequately controlled on inhaled corticosteroids alone.

• Prevention of asthma symptoms, including nocturnal asthma.

This inhaler is not intended for the immediate relief of acute bronchospasm or sudden asthma attacks. A short-acting bronchodilator should be used for quick relief in emergency situations.

Patients are advised to use the inhaler regularly, even if symptoms are under control, to maintain optimal therapeutic benefits.

For proper administration:

• Shake the inhaler well before use.

• Breathe out gently before placing the mouthpiece in the mouth.

• Press the canister while inhaling deeply and slowly.

• Hold breath for about 10 seconds after inhalation.

• Rinse mouth with water after use to reduce the risk of oral fungal infections.

Precautions and Warnings

• Not suitable for relief of acute asthma attacks.

• Use with caution in patients with cardiovascular disorders, diabetes, hyperthyroidism, or seizure disorders.

• Prolonged use of corticosteroids may increase the risk of systemic effects.

• Sudden discontinuation should be avoided; dose should be tapered under medical supervision if necessary.
