Committee Recommendations (1)

04 Nov 20 - Surrey & North West Sussex Area Prescribing Committee (formerly Prescribing Clinical Network)

Flixotide Evohaler and Flixotide Accuhaler are not locally recommended. They are less cost effective and carry the risk of excess steroid dosing due to dose equivalence / potency compared to beclometasone
(500microgram of fluticasone propionate is equivalent to 1000micrograms beclometasone dipropionate)

Inhaler devices should be presrcibed by BRAND
