Flutiform

Description

  • Inhaler (pressurised inhalation medicine)
  • For breathing problems such as asthma
  • Helps prevent shortness of breath
  • Maintenance medicine (not a fast-acting reliever medicine)
  • Also suitable for children from the age of 5 years

Flutiform is a medication that combines fluticasone and formoterol to help manage asthma in adults and adolescents who are not adequately controlled on regular inhaled corticosteroids and an 'as-needed' inhaled short-acting beta2-agonist. Fluticasone reduces inflammation in your lungs, while formoterol helps to open up your airways. It is suitable for individuals with asthma that requires a combination therapy approach for better control.
