A Study on the Appearance of Side Effects and Various Factors with Flutide.

Inhaled steroids play an important role in treating patients with bronchial asthma. Especially, inhaled steroid can prevent side effect at whole body because of providing a little quantity and high concentrated steroid at locally compared with oral or injected.Recently, during the inhalation of steroids, a metered dose inhaler displaces a dry powder inhaler. Although it is convenient due to its portability, it is reported that the rate of side effects in Flutide® is higher than that observed for inhaled steroids. We surveyed the occurrence of side effects, symptoms, period of usage, experience of metered dose inhaler medicine from fifty-three patients with face-finding on the spot regarding inhaled dry powder type steroids, Flutide® and determined whether or not side effects occur and then compared the findings.The frequency of side effects was 47.1 % and the average age of this group was older than that of the non-occurrence group (P<0.05). There were no differences between the other groups. There were many side effects of the throat. 70.6% patients inhaled Flutide® as directly about inhalant number and quantity in one day.These findings indicated a need to re-examine the inhalation speed and manner of gargling and the direction of inhalation to prevent side effects.
