Flixotide

What are the benefits?

Many asthma sufferers can benefit greatly from using a preventer treatment as it can help them to lead normal lives by limiting the attacks which can often be scary and difficult to control. Flixotide has the added benefit of being available in two different types of inhaler, making it easier to use for people who find pressurised canisters difficult.

You can continue to use your reliever inhaler in the case of an attack or if you have trouble breathing as this will not affect the anti-inflammatory action of the fluticasone medication.

How does it work?

The active ingredient in Flixotide is fluticasone, a corticosteroid which acts as an anti-inflammatory. By inhaling a small amount of the medication, it will prevent swelling and irritation to your airways and lungs, which is the main cause of asthma attacks. By using fluticasone every day you can significantly reduce your chances of suffering from an attack.

How do you use it?

The Flixotide Accuhaler and Evohaler are each available in three different strengths; 50mcg, 100mcg and 250mcg and 50mcg, 125mcg and 250mcg, respectively. Your doctor will prescribe the dosage most effective for you after your consultation and you will usually need to use the inhaler either once or twice a day, even when you don’t notice any symptoms. Do not increase your dosage without consulting with a doctor first.

Who can use it?

The Flixotide Accuhaler and Evohaler are safe preventer medications for most asthma patients, although a small number of people may be allergic or hypersensitive towards fluticasone, in which case a different treatment would be necessary. In your online consultation you will need to mention if you are taking any other medication or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, as this may affect the dosage you are prescribed.

What are the side effects?

The most common side effects of this medication include soreness or infections to the throat and mouth, although these can be prevented by using a mouthwash or brushing your teeth after using Flixotide. If you suffer from swelling to the face, skin rashes or trouble breathing immediately after using your Evohaler or Accuhaler, you may be allergic to fluticasone, in which case you should consult with your doctor immediately.
