THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
_In adults and adolescents over 16 years Flixotide Nebules can be
used: _
For prophylactic management of severe chronic asthma in patients

high dose inhaled or oral corticosteroid therapy.

4.2
POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Patients should be made aware of the prophylactic nature of therapy
with
inhaled fluticasone propionate and that it should be taken regularly
even when
they are asymptomatic.
If patients find that relief with short-acting bronchodilator
treatment becomes
less effective or they need more inhalations than usual, medical
attention must
be sought.
Page 2 of 14
Patients should be given an initial dose of nebulised fluticasone
propionate
which is appropriate for the severity of their disease. The dosage may
be
increased until control is achieved or reduced to the minimum
effective dose
according to the individual response.
_Adults and adolescents over 16 years_
: 500-2000 micrograms twice daily.
Prescribers should be aware that fluticasone propionate is as
effective as other
inhaled steroids approximately at half the microgram daily dose. For
example,
a 100 mcg of fluticasone propionate is approximately equivalent to 200
mcg
dose of beclometasone dipropionate (CFC containing) or budesonide.
Prescribers should be aware of the risks of systemic effects when
using high
doses of corticosteroids (see 4.4 special warnings and precautions for
use and
4.8 undesirable effects).
The dose should be titrated down to the lowest dose at which effective
control
of asthma is maintained.
