Fluticasone Propionate

Other names: Flovent

Categories: Prescription Medication

Description:

Fluticasone propionate is an inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) used as part of combination therapy for managing moderate to severe COPD, particularly in patients with frequent exacerbations. It works by reducing airway inflammation, helping to decrease flare-ups and improve breathing when used alongside a long-acting bronchodilator (LABA). It is not recommended as monotherapy in COPD due to limited benefit and potential increased risk of pneumonia.

Fluticasone propionate can be added to existing LABA/LAMA therapy to create a triple therapy regimen for COPD, especially in patients with frequent exacerbations. This approach offers flexibility and may be more cost-effective, as generic versions of fluticasone are available. It’s a practical alternative for patients who need triple therapy but are looking to reduce medication costs.
