Flohale Inhaler 125 mcg

Flohale Inhaler 125 mcg is an inhaled corticosteroid that contains fluticasone propionate 125 mcg in each inhaler device. It is used to help control and prevent asthma symptoms by reducing inflammation in the airways. Flohale Inhaler 125 mcg is a maintenance medicine, not a quick-relief inhaler for sudden breathing problems. Because it works in the lungs over time, it is often prescribed for people who need regular controller treatment for asthma.

How it works: Fluticasone propionate works by calming swelling and irritation inside the airways, which helps make breathing easier over time. In inhaler form, it delivers the medicine directly to the lungs so it can act where asthma inflammation starts.

Flohale Inhaler 125 mcg is a mid-to-higher strength inhaled fluticasone propionate option, so it may be chosen when a doctor wants stronger daily anti-inflammatory control than a lower-strength inhaler. Since this is the only strength/form listed for Flohale, the 125 mcg inhaler should be viewed as a doctor-selected maintenance dose rather than a starter strength for everyone.

• Long-term asthma control
• Prevention of wheezing
• Reduction of chest tightness
• Lowering airway inflammation
• Helping reduce asthma flare-ups

• Use Flohale Inhaler 125 mcg exactly as your doctor prescribes, because it is a controller inhaler and not meant for sudden symptoms.
• Shake and prepare the inhaler as directed in the patient instructions before each use.
• Breathe out fully, place the mouthpiece in your mouth, and inhale the medicine deeply and steadily as instructed.
• After inhaling, hold your breath for as long as comfortable, then breathe out slowly.
• If a second puff is prescribed, wait the recommended time between puffs and repeat the steps.
• Rinse your mouth with water after use and spit it out to help lower the risk of thrush.

Flohale Inhaler 125 mcg delivers 125 mcg of fluticasone propionate per actuation/device use as labeled, and the exact dosing schedule depends on the prescriber’s plan. Some patients use it once or twice daily, but the maximum daily amount and frequency must be set by the doctor based on asthma severity and prior steroid use. Do not use more often or in larger amounts than prescribed, even though the 125 mcg strength may be stronger than a lower-dose maintenance inhaler.

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

Common side effects of Fluticasone Propionate may include:

• Throat irritation
• Hoarseness
• Cough after inhalation
• Oral thrush (yeast infection in the mouth)
• Headache
• Upper respiratory symptoms
• Mild nose or throat dryness

• Flohale Inhaler 125 mcg is not a rescue inhaler and will not treat sudden asthma attacks.
• Use caution if you have ever had oral thrush, glaucoma, cataracts, or other steroid-related problems.
• Tell your doctor if you are switching from oral steroids, because your body may need time to adjust.
• Regular follow-up matters with this higher controller strength so your doctor can check asthma control and side effects.
• Rinse and spit after each use to reduce the chance of fungal infection in the mouth and throat.
• Tell your clinician if you have liver disease, frequent infections, or are using other steroid medicines.
• Do not stop Flohale Inhaler 125 mcg abruptly without medical advice if you have been using it regularly.

• Strong CYP3A4 inhibitors such as ritonavir or cobicistat can raise fluticasone levels.
• Certain antifungal medicines, including ketoconazole or itraconazole, may increase steroid exposure.
• Other corticosteroids, including oral, inhaled, or nasal steroids, can add to steroid side effects.
• Live vaccines may require extra caution if you are on higher-dose or long-term corticosteroid therapy.
