Mundipharma has welcomed
the PBS approval of its new
Flutiform combination inhaler,
which for the first time brings
together fluticasone propionate
with eformoterol.
The combination of an inhaled
corticosteroid (ICS) with a LABA
(long-acting beta-adrenoceptor
agonist) is claimed to “provide
asthma sufferers with rapid onset
of bronchodilation and sustained
improvements in lung function”.
The Flutiform inhaler comes as
an aerosol delivered by a metered
dose inhaler, with an easy-to-read
patient-facing dose counter.
Associate Professor Greg King of
the Woolcock Institute of Medical

in reaching all goals of asthma
management as it abolishes the
symptoms, improves lung function
and vastly reduces the risk of
attack”.The above article was sent to subscribers in Pharmacy Daily's issue from 25 Feb 14 To see the full newsletter, see the embedded issue below or CLICK HERE to download Pharmacy Daily from 25 Feb 14
