About fluticasone inhalers

Inhalers are the main treatment for الربو. الدواء داخل جهاز الاستنشاق يذهب مباشرة إلى مجاري الهواء لديك عند الشهيق. هذا يعني أن مجاري الهواء والرئتين يتم علاجهما، ولكن القليل من الدواء يصل إلى باقي أجزاء جسمك.

Fluticasone is a preventer inhaler. Use it every day to prevent your symptoms from developing. Steroids like fluticasone work by reducing the inflammation in your airways. When the inflammation has gone, your airways are much less likely to become narrow and cause symptoms such as wheezing.

Fluticasone is available on its own in an inhaler, and also in combination with other medicines, such as salmeterol, فورموتيرول or vilanterol. These are medicines which also help to control the symptoms of asthma.

Before using a fluticasone inhaler

Some medicines are not suitable for people with certain conditions, and sometimes a medicine may only be used if extra care is taken. For these reasons, before you start using a fluticasone inhaler it is important that your doctor knows:

• إذا كنتِ حاملاً، تحاولين الإنجاب أو تقومين بالرضاعة الطبيعية. ذلك لأن من المهم بشكل خاص أن يكون الربو لديكِ تحت السيطرة الجيدة إذا كنتِ تتوقعين مولودًا، وسيود طبيبك تقديم النصائح لكِ بشأن رعايتك.

• If you have an infection in your eyes or mouth, or a chest infection.

• إذا كنت قد أصبت بمرض السل الرئوي (TB) من قبل.

• إذا كنت تتناول أو تستخدم أي أدوية أخرى. يشمل ذلك أي أدوية تتناولها والتي يمكن شراؤها بدون وصفة طبية، بالإضافة إلى الأدوية العشبية والمكملات الغذائية.

• إذا كنت قد تعرضت في أي وقت مضى لرد فعل تحسسي تجاه دواء.

How to use a fluticasone inhaler

• Before you start this treatment, read the manufacturer's printed information leaflet from inside your pack and any other printed information you are given. The manufacturer's leaflet will give you more information about the specific brand of fluticasone inhaler you have been given, and a full list of side-effects which you may experience from using it.

• Use the inhaler twice daily unless you have been told otherwise. Your doctor will tell you how many puffs to use each time. Try to use it at the same times each day, as this will help you to remember to use it regularly. Make sure you know how to use your inhaler device properly. If you are not sure, ask your nurse, doctor or pharmacist to show you.

• Some people using steroid inhalers find that the back of their throats can become sore. If you rinse your mouth with water and brush your teeth after using your inhaler, this is less likely to develop.

• Your doctor may give you a spacer device to use with your inhaler. A spacer device can be particularly helpful for children and for people who struggle to co-ordinate breathing in and pressing the inhaler. It will help to make sure that the medicine travels right into your lungs. Your doctor, nurse or pharmacist will be able to advise you on using the device.

تحقيق أقصى استفادة من علاجك

• Fluticasone is a preventer inhaler which needs to be used regularly in order to have an effect. It takes a few days for the steroid in the inhaler to build up its effect.

• Fluticasone inhalers will not give you immediate relief if you are having an asthma attack - you will need to use a reliever inhaler to ease the symptoms of an attack.

• If after using the inhaler for the first time your breathing becomes worse or you suddenly start to wheeze, let your doctor know straightaway. Your doctor will want to change the type of inhaler to one more suited to you.

• من المفيد تذكر لون جهاز الاستنشاق الخاص بك واسم العلامة التجارية. قد يكون هذا مهمًا إذا كنت بحاجة لرؤية طبيب لا يمتلك سجلاتك الطبية (مثل إذا كنت في إجازة أو إذا كان ذلك خارج ساعات العمل العادية لعيادة طبيبك).

• Keep your regular appointments with your doctor or asthma clinic. This is so your doctor can review your treatment. If at any time you find that your asthma symptoms are getting worse or that you need to use a reliever inhaler more regularly, contact your doctor or nurse for advice straightaway.

• If you are using a high dose of fluticasone, you will also be given a steroid card. You are advised to carry the card with you at all times in case you need any treatment by a doctor who does not have your medical records available.

• Continue to use your fluticasone inhaler regularly. Do not stop using it abruptly, as this can make you feel unwell and cause your symptoms to return suddenly.

• لا تدخن. يمكن أن يسبب التدخين تهيجًا شديدًا وتلفًا لرئتيك. سيجعل حالتك أسوأ وسيقلل من الفوائد التي تحصل عليها من أجهزة الاستنشاق الخاصة بك.

• If you have diabetes, tell your doctor if you notice any change in your blood glucose tests, as fluticasone may affect the levels of sugar in your blood.

Can fluticasone inhalers cause problems?

Along with their useful effects, inhalers like most medicines can cause unwanted side-effects although not everyone experiences them. The table below contains some of the most common ones associated with fluticasone. You will find a full list in the manufacturer's information leaflet supplied with your inhaler. Speak with your doctor or pharmacist if any of the following continue or become troublesome.

Using high doses of inhaled steroids over a long time may aggravate mental health problems, and also be a risk factor for some eye problems and for 'thinning' of the bones (osteoporosis). Also, children who use an inhaled steroid over a long time should have their growth monitored. If you are concerned about any of these rare effects, you should discuss them with your doctor.

If you experience any other symptoms which you think may be due to the inhaler, speak with your doctor or pharmacist.
