Product Description
Flixotide Evohaler 125 mcg is a pressurized metered-dose inhaler delivering fluticasone propionate, a potent glucocorticoid that reduces inflammation, swelling, and irritation in the lungs to prevent asthma symptoms. It is indicated for regular treatment in mild to moderate persistent asthma where short-acting bronchodilators alone are inadequate, helping to maintain control and reduce exacerbations. The low systemic bioavailability minimizes side effects compared to oral steroids, with peak plasma concentrations occurring 30-60 minutes post-dose. Patients should use it daily even when asymptomatic, and seek medical advice if reliever inhaler use increases. It is not suitable for sudden breathlessness; a separate reliever is required. Benefits • Prevents asthma attacks by reducing lung inflammation and swelling • Improves long-term asthma control with regular prophylactic use • Low systemic absorption for fewer side effects than oral corticosteroids • Enhances quality of life by minimizing symptoms like wheezing and shortness of breath • Supports stepwise dose reduction to the lowest effective level • Compatible with spacers for better delivery in children or technique-challenged users How to Use • Shake the inhaler well before each use and prime if new by releasing 4 test sprays • Exhale fully, place mouthpiece in mouth, inhale deeply while actuating the canister • Hold breath for 10 seconds, then exhale slowly; rinse mouth with water afterward • Usual adult dose: 100-500 mcg twice daily; children 4-16 years: 50-100 mcg twice daily • Use with a spacer if recommended; clean inhaler weekly by rinsing in warm water • Do not exceed prescribed dose; consult doctor if symptoms worsen or persist
