Flutiform Inhalers

Flutiform is a combination inhaler used by people whose asthma needs more than a single preventer. It contains two medicines, fluticasone propionate and formoterol fumarate dihydrate, which work together to reduce airway inflammation and keep the airways open for smoother breathing throughout the day.

A flutiform inhaler is often prescribed when asthma feels unpredictable or starts interfering with everyday life, such as disturbed sleep, reduced exercise tolerance, or frequent reliance on a reliever inhaler. This inhaler is designed to provide ongoing control and consistency, rather than acting as a rescue inhaler. Once your free online consultation is approved, you can get your Flutiform inhaler online through Pharmacy Planet.

Flutiform is a pressurised combination inhaler used for long-term asthma management. It contains fluticasone propionate, an inhaled corticosteroid that reduces swelling and irritation in the airways, and formoterol fumarate, a long-acting bronchodilator that keeps the airways relaxed so breathing feels easier for longer.

Together, these medicines address both sides of asthma control: inflammation and airway tightness. The Flutiform inhaler is taken every day to keep symptoms stable, not just when breathing feels difficult. Many people are prescribed Flutiform inhalers after finding that a preventer inhaler alone no longer provides adequate control.

Flutiform inhalers work in a balanced way to support lung health and airway care.

• Fluticasone Reduces Airway Inflammation — This lowers swelling inside the lungs, making breathing less reactive.
• Formoterol Keeps the Airways Open — It relaxes airway muscles so air flows more freely for extended periods.
• Combined Daily Control — Using both medicines together provides steadier breathing across the day and night.
• Long-term Asthma Stability — With consistent use, flare-ups often become less frequent and less disruptive.

Flutiform inhalers do not replace a reliever inhaler, but many people notice they rely on it less over time.

Flutiform inhalers are suitable for adults and teenagers aged 12 years and over. They come in different strengths (50/5, 125/5, and 250/10 micrograms).

Dosage Guidance:

• Flutiform is usually taken twice daily, once in the morning and once in the evening.
• Most people take two puffs per dose, depending on the strength prescribed.
• The exact strength and routine will be confirmed during your online consultation with Pharmacy Planet.

Steps for Using the Flutiform Inhaler:

1. Remove the cap and shake the inhaler well.
2. Breathe out gently, away from the mouthpiece.
3. Place the mouthpiece between your lips.
4. Start to breathe in slowly and press the canister once.
5. Continue breathing in steadily.
6. Hold your breath briefly, then breathe out slowly.
7. Repeat if another puff is prescribed.
8. Rinse your mouth with water and spit it out after use.

Many people use the Flutiform inhaler with a spacer, especially if coordination feels difficult. Your prescriber can advise if this is right for you.

The Flutiform inhaler may suit individuals who:

• Still have symptoms despite using a preventer inhaler alone.
• Need steadier breathing across work, sleep, and activity.
• Experience frequent flare-ups or nighttime symptoms.
• Prefer a pressurised inhaler or use a spacer.

The Flutiform inhaler may not suit individuals who:

• Only need a reliever inhaler for rare symptoms.
• Are allergic to fluticasone propionate, formoterol fumarate, or similar asthma medicines.
• Have certain heart rhythm conditions or cardiovascular conditions.
• Are under 12 years of age.

A prescriber during your free online consultation with Pharmacy Planet will confirm whether the Flutiform inhaler is appropriate for your treatment plan.

The Flutiform inhaler is generally well tolerated when used as prescribed.

Common Side Effects:

• Sore or dry throat
• Hoarse voice
• Headache
• Mild tremor
• Oral thrush if mouth rinsing is skipped

Serious Side Effects:

• Chest tightness after use
• Irregular heartbeat

If severe symptoms occur, seek urgent medical care to protect your health and safety.

Many people choose the Flutiform inhaler because it simplifies asthma treatment by combining two medicines in one inhaler. Common reasons include:

• Combined anti-inflammatory and bronchodilator action.
• Fewer inhalers to manage each day.
• More stable breathing throughout daily life.
• Reduced reliance on reliever inhalers.
• A treatment option when preventers alone are not enough.

For many individuals, Flutiform inhalers represent the step from managing symptoms to feeling more in control.
