Description
Flixotide 125mcg Inhaler contains fluticasone propionate which offers prophylactic treatment for asthma. Also, it helps to prevent asthma attacks in people who need regular treatment. Flixotide works by reducing swelling and irritation in the lungs.
Therapeutic indications
Fluticasone propionate given by inhalation offers prophylactic treatment for asthma.

On introduction of inhaled fluticasone propionate many of these patients may be able to reduce significantly, or to eliminate, their requirement for oral corticosteroids.
