Overview
Flixotide 125mcg Evohaler contains fluticasone propionate 125mcg per actuation (Flixotide), an inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) used alone, without a bronchodilator, for the regular preventive treatment of asthma. It is a preventer inhaler used daily to control airway inflammation, not a reliever inhaler for immediate symptom relief.
Fluticasone propionate acts directly within the airway lining to reduce inflammation, decreasing swelling, mucus production, and the sensitivity of the airways to triggers such as allergens, cold air, or exercise. With regular use, this reduces the frequency and severity of asthma symptoms and flare-ups over time.
How it Works
Fluticasone propionate binds to glucocorticoid receptors within airway cells, reducing the production of inflammatory chemicals and immune cell activity in the airway lining. Over time, this decreases swelling and mucus production and makes the airways less reactive to triggers, reducing the frequency and severity of asthma symptoms.
Directions for Use
Shake the inhaler well before use, breathe out gently away from the device, seal your lips around the mouthpiece, then press down on the canister once while breathing in slowly and deeply. Hold your breath for about 10 seconds before breathing out slowly. Using a spacer device can help improve delivery to the lungs, especially for children or those who find coordination difficult. Rinse your mouth with water after use.
Dosage
The usual dose of Flixotide 125mcg Evohaler is 1-2 inhalations twice daily, with the exact strength and frequency determined by your doctor based on the severity of your asthma. Your doctor may adjust your dose over time, aiming for the lowest dose that keeps your symptoms controlled.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Flixotide 125mcg Evohaler a reliever inhaler for sudden breathlessness?
No, this is a preventer inhaler that controls airway inflammation over time. It is not for rapid relief – keep a separate fast-acting reliever inhaler on hand for sudden symptoms.
Why do I need to use this inhaler every day, even when I feel well?
Fluticasone works by continuously controlling the underlying inflammation in your airways. Skipping doses when you feel well can allow inflammation to build up again.
Why should I rinse my mouth after using this inhaler?
Rinsing with water and spitting it out reduces the risk of oral thrush and hoarseness, which can occur when the inhaled steroid settles in the mouth and throat.
Can children use Flixotide 125mcg Evohaler?
Yes, fluticasone propionate inhalers are used in children as well as adults, with your doctor determining the appropriate strength and dose for your child.
Can I use a spacer device with this inhaler?
