WHAT AXOTIDE INHALERS
('PUFFERS') ARE USED FOR
You may know your Inhaler better as
a 'puffer'. Axotide puffers contain a
medicine called fluticasone
propionate. This medicine belongs to
a group of medicines known as
corticosteroids, frequently called
'steroids'. They are not 'anabolic
steroids' which are the steroids
sometimes misused by athletes.
Your Axotide puffer provides a
measured amount of steroid for you
to breathe into your lungs. By using
your Axotide puffer regularly every
day, the medicine reduces the
swelling and irritation in the walls of
the small air passages in your lungs.
Your Axotide puffer contains the
type of asthma medicine known as a
'preventer'. It does not give
immediate relief from an asthma
attack and may take up to a week to
start to work. If your shortness of
breath or wheeze does not get better
after 7 days, tell your doctor. When
used every day, your Axotide puffer
helps to ease breathing problems and
prevent asthma attacks.
This medicine is only one part of a
general plan to help you manage your
asthma. You should discuss this plan
with your doctor. You may also be
using a 'reliever puffer'. Keep using it
according to your doctor's advice.

DOSE AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Fluticasone propionate has a marked anti-inflammatory effect in the
lungs. It reduces
symptoms and exacerbations of asthma in patients receiving either no
prophylactic
treatment or other available anti-asthma therapy.
AXOTIDE ACCUHALER IS ADMINISTERED VIA THE INHALED ROUTE ONLY.
AXOTIDE INHALER is administered via the inhaled route only. It is
intended that each
prescribed dose is given by a minimum of 2 inhalations.
In patients who find co-ordination of a pressurised metered-dose
inhaler difficult, a spacer
may be used with AXOTIDE Inhaler.

asymptomatic. The
onset of therapeutic effect is within 4 to 7 days.
If patients find that relief with short-acting bronchodilator
treatment becomes less effective or
they need more inhalations than us
