Flohale 25mcg Inhaler 120mdi is a corticosteroid inhaler used to manage and prevent symptoms of asthma and COPD, such as wheezing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness. It contains Fluticasone Propionate, which works by reducing inflammation in the airways, making breathing easier and preventing asthma attacks.

This inhaler is a preventive (controller) medication, meaning it should be used regularly for long-term control of asthma and should not be used for sudden asthma attacks.

Key Benefits

Reduces airway inflammation and swelling
Prevents asthma symptoms and improves lung function
Decreases the frequency of asthma attacks
Effective long-term asthma and COPD management

How It Works

Fluticasone Propionate (25 mcg) is a corticosteroid that reduces inflammation in the lungs, preventing narrowing of the airways. This helps:

• Reduce breathing difficulties
• Lower mucus production
• Prevent asthma flare-ups

Unlike reliever inhalers, Flohale is a maintenance therapy and should be used daily to control symptoms.

How to Use

1. Shake the inhaler well before each use.
2. Breathe out completely, then put the mouthpiece between your lips.
3. Press the inhaler to release a dose while inhaling deeply.
4. Take a brief pause, holding your breath, before releasing it gradually.
5. Rinse your mouth after use to prevent oral infections (thrush).
6. Use it as prescribed by your doctor, usually twice daily.

Possible Side Effects

• Throat irritation or hoarseness
• Dry mouth or cough
• Fungal infections (oral thrush)
• Mild headache or dizziness
• Nasal congestion

To minimize the risk of side effects, rinse your mouth after each use and follow your doctor’s recommendations.
