Key takeaways

  • Inhaled fluticasone is a controller treatment and should be used according to the respiratory plan even when symptoms improve.
  • Nasal sprays and lung inhalers have different devices and are not interchangeable.
  • Mouth thrush, hoarseness, nosebleeds and steroid exposure depend on route and technique.

Listings are for comparison only; suitability and supply depend on diagnosis, route, device, prescription and pharmacy checks.

What fluticasone is used for

Uses may include asthma, selected chronic obstructive pulmonary disease combinations or allergic rhinitis.

Important safety checks

Confirm device technique, other steroid products, infection history, glaucoma, cataracts and interacting strong enzyme inhibitors. Rinsing the mouth after an inhaled dose may reduce local effects.

When to seek urgent care

Seek emergency help for severe breathlessness, blue or grey lips, difficulty speaking, facial swelling or breathing difficulty. Sudden vision change or severe eye pain needs prompt assessment.
