Uses / Indications:
Asthma (long-term treatment)
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
Inflammation of the airways due to allergies
Cough or bronchial irritation after an infection (as directed)
Flohale is not a quick-relief (rescue) inhaler; it is a preventive drug. When used regularly, it helps keep asthma episodes from happening.
Pregnancy interaction:
Category: Only use if absolutely necessary.
There aren't many research on fluticasone inhalation in pregnant women, but it doesn't get into the bloodstream very much.
Flohale and other inhaled corticosteroids are usually safe to use during pregnancy as long as the benefits are greater than the hazards.
Asthma that isn't under control is more dangerous for the mother and infant than inhaled medication.
Breastfeeding:
Flohale can get into breast milk in extremely small concentrations.
It is thought to be safe for nursing, but only with a doctor's supervision.
Expert advice:
For optimal benefits, use it every day. It works as a preventive medicine.
Don't skip or stop all at once; your doctor may lower the dose slowly.
After using, always rinse your mouth and throat.
Keep an eye on how much children grow while they are on long-term therapy.
Keep it below 25°C and away from light and moisture.
To keep from getting dirty, clean the parts of the nebulizer often.
The solution is exclusively for inhalation; do not swallow or inject it.
Unless your doctor tells you to, don't mix this with other nebulizer solutions.
Side Effects:
A painful throat or hoarseness
Coughing or throat irritation
Oral thrush is a fungal infection in the mouth.
Pain in the head
Mouth that is dry
Side Effects That Are Rare or Serious
Fever and sore throat are signs of an infection.
Allergic symptoms include a rash, swelling, and trouble breathing.
Changes in vision (rare)
Adrenal suppression (with long-term or high-dose use)
Rinse your mouth after every dose to avoid getting an infection in your mouth.
How to use:
Before you use the respule, shake it gently.
Take the liquid out of the respule and put it in the nebulizer chamber.
Sit up straight and breathe in the mist through a mouthpiece or mask until the nebulizer stops, which normally takes 10 to 15 minutes.
To avoid oral thrush, rinse your mouth with water and spit it out after using it.
After each usage, follow the manufacturer's directions to clean the nebulizer parts.
Follow your doctor's instructions and use it consistently. Don't quit suddenly without talking to your doctor first.
How it works:
Fluticasone Propionate, a synthetic corticosteroid with powerful anti-inflammatory properties, included in Flohale.
It stops inflammatory cells from working in the airways.
This makes the lungs less sensitive, less swollen, and less likely to make mucus.
It helps maintain the airways open and less reactive over time, which helps stop wheezing and trouble breathing.
Using it regularly helps your lungs work better and makes asthma attacks happen less often and less severely.
Faq for medicine:
1. What is the purpose of Flohale 0.5mg Respules?
It is used to treat asthma and COPD by lowering inflammation in the airways.
2. How often should I take Flohale Respules?
As your doctor says, usually once or twice a day. Don't modify the dose on your own.
3. Is Flohale a type of steroid?
Yes, it has Fluticasone in it, which is a corticosteroid that helps regulate lung inflammation.
4. Is it okay to discontinue taking Flohale when I feel better?
No. Keep going as told. Stopping immediately could make asthma symptoms worse.
5. Is it safe to take Flohale when pregnant?
Yes, but only if your doctor tells you to. It is thought to be safe because it only works in the lungs.
6. Can I take Flohale during an asthma attack?
No. It is not a medicine for emergencies. For sudden symptoms, use your quick-relief inhaler (such salbutamol).
7. What should I do if I forget to take a dose?
As soon as you recall, use it. If it's almost time for your next dose, don't double it.
8. What can I do to keep my mouth from getting infections while taking Flohale?
To keep oral thrush from occurring, always rinse your mouth and gargle after nebulization.
9. Is it okay to use Flohale with other inhalers?
Yes, but first take bronchodilators, and then Flohale after 5–10 minutes.
10. Does Flohale make you want to do it again?
No. When prescribed, it is safe to use for a long time and does not induce dependence.
Medicine interaction:
Flohale doesn't get absorbed well into the body, although it could interact with:
Strong CYP3A4 inhibitors (such ketoconazole, ritonavir, and itraconazole) may raise steroid levels and adverse effects.
Other corticosteroids (oral or injectable): Can make the body's steroid load higher.
Beta-agonist inhalers, such salbutamol, are safe and often prescribed together. However, if you use them both at the same time, you should take the bronchodilator first and then the Flohale after 5 to 10 minutes.
Always tell your doctor about all the drugs and inhalers you are using.
