Why flohale 50 is not available in any of d shops except online. Was that a better drug than foracort.? Is it safe giving foracort twice daily.?
Brief Answer:
Yes, foracort is safe twice daily.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your follow up question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Yes, foracort 100 is safe in twice daily dosing. So no need to worry for this.
Flohale is having fluticasone. It is inhaled corticosteroid (ICS).
Foracort is having budesonide. It is also ICS. And both are equally potent, so no need to worry.
Sorry but I don't know why you are not getting Flohale in shops.
I am practising in XXXXXXX and it is available here.
But no harm in giving foracort 100 twice daily. This will work same as Flohale.
Hope I have solved your query.
