Flohale 2 mg Respules 2 mL

Flohale 2 mg Respules 2 mL contains fluticasone propionate 2 mg in each respule. Fluticasone propionate is an inhaled corticosteroid used to help prevent and control asthma symptoms by reducing swelling and irritation in the airways. This product is meant for people who need a prescribed higher-strength inhaled steroid regimen and is not for quick relief of sudden asthma attacks. Flohale 2 mg Respules 2 mL is supplied as a respule for inhalation use, not as an oral tablet.

How it works: Fluticasone propionate works by calming inflammation in the lungs and airways, which helps reduce swelling, mucus, and sensitivity to triggers. In this respule form, the medicine is inhaled so it can act directly in the airways instead of being swallowed as a tablet.

Flohale 2 mg Respules 2 mL is a higher-strength option than Flohale 0.5 mg Respules 2 mL, so it is usually chosen when a doctor feels a stronger inhaled steroid dose is needed for asthma control. Because it delivers more medicine per respule, it may be reserved for patients already assessed by a clinician rather than for routine starting treatment.

• Maintenance treatment of asthma
• Reducing airway inflammation
• Preventing wheezing and shortness of breath
• Helping lower asthma flare-ups when used regularly

• Use Flohale 2 mg Respules 2 mL only with a nebulizer as directed by your prescriber; this is not a tablet to swallow.
• Open one respule only when you are ready to use it and empty the entire 2 mL into the nebulizer chamber.
• Breathe in the mist slowly and steadily until the respule is empty, following the nebulizer instructions.
• Use it at the same times each day if your doctor prescribed regular maintenance dosing.
• Rinse your mouth after treatment to help lower the chance of oral thrush.
• Do not use this medicine for sudden asthma symptoms; keep your rescue inhaler available if prescribed.

Each Flohale 2 mg Respules 2 mL provides 2 mg of fluticasone propionate per respule. The exact dosing schedule depends on the severity of asthma and your doctor’s plan; this higher-strength respule may be prescribed once or twice daily, but the maximum daily amount and duration should be decided by a clinician. Do not increase the number of respules or frequency on your own, since this is a stronger dose than the 0.5 mg respule.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.

Common side effects of Fluticasone Propionate may include:

• Use extra caution if you take strong CYP3A4 inhibitors, which can raise fluticasone levels and increase steroid side effects.
