Flixotide Evohaler is an anti-inflammatory steroid medicine, which works to treat inflammation or mucus build-up in the lungs by using the active ingredient fluticasone to clear the airways thus making breathing easier. This 'preventer' should be used every day to ensure best results. Flixotide is a corticosteroid used primarily as an inhaled medication to treat respiratory conditions, particularly asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The inhaled form of Flixotide is used as a preventive or maintenance treatment to reduce inflammation in the airways and prevent asthma attacks or COPD exacerbations. It does not provide immediate relief during an acute asthma attack or COPD exacerbation; instead, it helps to manage and control the condition over time. Fluticasone propionate works by reducing inflammation in the airways, which helps to decrease the sensitivity of the respiratory system to various triggers, such as allergens and irritants. This action helps to prevent symptoms like wheezing, shortness of breath, and coughing. It is essential to use Flixotide as prescribed by our pharmacists, and the dosage may vary depending on the severity of the condition. If you have been prescribed Flixotide or any other medication, always follow the instructions provided by your doctor and consult them if you have any concerns or experience side effects. For adults with asthma, the normal dose of fluticasone is usually between 100 micrograms to 500 micrograms (twice daily), depending on the severity of the symptoms. The dosage is usually lower for children. Flixotide Evohaler is also a prescription only medication (POM), therefore would require an asthma prescription which you can obtain via our online doctor.
