Flixotide

Flixotide is an inhaled medication containing fluticasone propionate. It is primarily used for the management of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It helps control and prevent symptoms associated with these respiratory conditions.

Flixotide works as an anti-inflammatory medication. It reduces inflammation in the airways, making them less sensitive to triggers and helping to prevent symptoms like wheezing and shortness of breath.

No, Flixotide is not a fast-acting rescue inhaler. It is a maintenance medication designed for long-term control of respiratory conditions. For quick relief of acute symptoms, a rescue inhaler, such as a bronchodilator, is typically used alongside Flixotide.

Flixotide is usually taken as an inhalation spray. Follow your healthcare provider's instructions carefully regarding the dosage and frequency. Rinse your mouth with water after using to reduce the risk of oral thrush.

The full effects of Flixotide may take several days to weeks of consistent use. It's essential to use it regularly, even if you're not experiencing symptoms, for optimal control of your condition.

Flixotide is approved for use in children, but the dosage and administration should be determined by a healthcare professional based on the child's age and condition.

Like all medications, Flixotide can have side effects. Common side effects may include a sore throat, hoarseness, and oral thrush. Serious side effects are rare but can include allergic reactions or changes in vision. Consult your doctor if you experience any unusual symptoms.
