Flixotide Accuhaler 250mcg contains the active ingredient fluticasone in powdered form for inhalation using the Accuhaler device. Fluticasone is an anti-inflammatory corticosteroid used to reduce inflammation in the lungs to help prevent asthma attacks (bronchoconstriction) where the symptoms are tightness, wheezing or having difficulty breathing.
Regular and typically twice daily use of Flixotide Accuhaler helps suppress inflammatory asthma triggers (allergens or irritants in the air) that is one of the underlying causes of asthma attacks. The use of Flixotide Accuhaler with its significant anti-inflammatory effect in the lungs, helps to lower the need to use reliever medications such as albuterol.
