Description
Flutiform for Asthma & Breathing Problems
Asthma is a common lung condition that can cause a range of breathing difficulties that happen randomly or after exposure to a trigger. Triggers may include common allergies to pollen or animal dander, infections, environmental changes or from exercise.
Flutiform is a pressurised inhaler used to treat the symptoms of asthma. This is a preventer inhaler that should be used every day to help you not become breathless or wheezy.
What is Flutiform and how does it work?
The two active ingredients, fluticasone propionate and formoterol fumarate dihydrate work together to improve breathing by reducing swelling and inflammation in the lungs. Fluticasone propionate is a steroid medication that can reduce the swelling and inflammation in the lungs, while formoterol fumarate dihydrate is a long-acting bronchodilator that helps to keep the airways open to improve breathing.

However, all medications can potentially have adverse effects and should be taken exactly as prescribed. If you experience any side effects when taking Flutiform 200mg then you should contact a doctor immediately.
Trimethoprim is commonly prescribed to treat urinary tract infections, a prevalent health issue affecting the urinary system. This medication is effective against a range of bacterial infections, notably those affecting the urinary and respiratory tracts. Trimethoprim works by targeting and inhibiting a substance called folic acid, which is crucial for the growth and reproduction of bacteria. By disrupting the production of folic acid, Trimethoprim hinders the development of bacteria, thereby helping to clear infections.
While it's primarily known for its effectiveness in treating urinary tract infections, it's also used for certain types of respiratory tract infections. However, like any medication, the safety of Trimethoprim for an individual depends on various factors including their overall health, other medications they may be taking, and their specific medical history. It's important to consult a healthcare professional to determine if Trimethoprim is a safe and appropriate treatment option.
Are there any foods that should be avoided when taking Flutiform?
We recommend you read the patient information leaflet for this product thoroughly before taking the treatment. This is essential to understanding any interactions that can occur and to take the medication safely.
Typically, it is recommended to avoid alcohol while taking the medication or other antibiotics, please consult your doctor for more guidance.

Generally, the effects of Flutiform may be noticeable within the time frame outlined by the prescribing pharmacist.

The NHS has a helpful resource on managing medication side effects, while also speaking to a healthcare professional is important in understanding any potential risks of taking Flutiform.

Additional Information on Trimethoprim 200mg
Trimethoprim 200mg, the usual dose, is a potent antibiotic primarily used to treat bacterial infections, particularly those related to urinary infections such as cystitis. This medication operates by inhibiting the bacterial production of a vital substance, folic acid, thereby preventing the growth and spread of the infection.
While it is highly effective in managing urinary tract infections, it's essential to be aware of certain precautions. Individuals with severe liver problems, or blood disorders, should consult their healthcare provider before using Trimethoprim, as it may not be the safest option for them. Additionally, it's a common misconception that cranberry juice can treat urine infections; however, while it may help alleviate cystitis symptoms by preventing bacteria from adhering to the bladder walls, it should not replace medical treatment with antibiotics like Trimethoprim.
As with any antibiotic, it's crucial to complete the full course as prescribed, even if symptoms improve, to effectively treat bacterial infections and prevent antibiotic resistance.
