Flutide Inhaler (125 mcg + 5 mcg)/puff is a combination inhalation therapy formulated with Fluticasone Propionate, a potent inhaled corticosteroid, and Formoterol Fumarate, a long-acting beta2-adrenergic agonist (LABA). This balanced, lower-strength combination is designed for the regular maintenance treatment of asthma and selected cases of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), offering effective anti-inflammatory and bronchodilatory action in a single inhaler.

Fluticasone Propionate works by reducing airway inflammation, swelling, and mucus production—key contributors to asthma symptoms. By controlling inflammation, it helps prevent frequent exacerbations and improves long-term lung function. Formoterol Fumarate acts by relaxing the smooth muscles of the airways, leading to sustained bronchodilation. Its rapid onset and prolonged duration of action help relieve airflow obstruction and maintain easier breathing throughout the day and night.

This dual-mechanism approach ensures comprehensive respiratory management, making Flutide Inhaler (125 mcg + 5 mcg)/puff suitable for patients who require combination therapy but may benefit from a moderate dosage strength.

• Shake the inhaler well before each use

• Exhale gently before placing the mouthpiece in the mouth

• Inhale deeply and slowly while pressing the canister

• Hold breath for about 10 seconds after inhalation

Proper inhalation technique is essential to ensure maximum drug delivery to the lungs.

Precautions and Warnings

• Use cautiously in patients with cardiovascular disorders, hypertension, diabetes, or hyperthyroidism

• Long-term use of inhaled corticosteroids may lead to systemic effects if taken in high doses
